Line 23:
** Game Theory books often use an adaptation of Alice and Bob in "Rose and Colin" (rows and columns on game theory charts), with "Larry", or "layer" thrown in for three person games.
*** Game Semantics books tend to use Abelard and Eloise (for resemblance to the universal and existental quantifier symbols, which are an inverted A and a backwards E). They are also the names of a medieval logician and his lover.
* Alice and Bob are the names of the parents in [[Vernor Vinge]]'s ''[[Rainbows End]]'', and a government official is named Eve Mallory.
* E. R. Emmet's "Our Factory" puzzles feature "Alf", "Bert", "Charlie", and so on.
