Hi Andres (sorry for the delay) - no, that is not the one. It must have been a blog discussion somewhere. Thanks, though.

I may have misremembered, but I vaguely recall a question about which famous mathematician has published the fewest papers. We're talking just below Fields medal quality here. Can someone either point me to it, or reassure me that no such question exists?
