Answer 1

Nairobi Java House

Java House (formerly Nairobi Java House) is a chain of coffee houses with its head office at ABC Place in Nairobi, Kenya, founded in 1999. It is one of the few places where one can find "export-quality" Kenyan coffee brewed and served in the region. The chain is known for its variety of Kenyan coffees and teas, home baked bread, Mexican cuisine, and free wireless Internet access.

Starting from the first cafe at Adam's Arcade along Ngong Road opened in 1999, Java House has grown to 44 locations as at October 2016. 34 of these are in Nairobi:

Mombasa has a branch at Nyali Centre while Nakuru has two branches, one on Kenyatta Avenue and one at Westside Mall on the Nakuru - Nairobi Highway. The Naivasha branch is at Buffalo Mall on the Moi South Lake Road and the Kisumu Branch is at West End Mall.

There are four branches in Kampala, Uganda: in the CBD at Grand Imperial on Nile Avenue, at Acacia Place on Acacia Avenue, at Village Mall, Bugolobi and at the Shell Service Station on the Lugogo By-Pass opposite Lugogo Mall. Java House also has a branch in Jinja at Amber Court on the Kampala-Jinja Highway.

The founders were Kevin Ashley and Jon Wagner.

In 2008, Java House founder and former Managing Director Jon Wagner was brought to trial for sexually harassing a minor. In 2009 he was sentenced to 15 years in prison along with two female co-defendants. This made him briefly one of the few foreign nationals living in Kenya to receive a harsh sentence under the law. However he was released on bail in early 2010 pending appeal. On March 22, 2011, Wagner was released after his conviction was overturned by Kenya's High Court.

Scottish Book

The Scottish Book (Polish: Księga Szkocka) was a thick notebook used by mathematicians of the Lwów School of Mathematics in Poland for jotting down problems meant to be solved. The notebook was named after the "Scottish Café" where it was kept.

Originally, the mathematicians who gathered at the cafe would write down the problems and equations directly on the cafe's marble table tops, but these would be erased at the end of each day, and so the record of the preceding discussions would be lost. The idea for the book was most likely originally suggested by Stefan Banach, or his wife, Łucja, who purchased a large notebook and left it with the proprietor of the cafe.

The Scottish Café (Polish: Kawiarnia Szkocka) was the café in Lwów (now Lviv) where, in the 1930s and 1940s, mathematicians from the Lwów School collaboratively discussed research problems, particularly in functional analysis and topology.

Stanislaw Ulam recounts that the tables of the café had marble tops, so they could write in pencil, directly on the table, during their discussions. To keep the results from being lost, and after becoming annoyed with their writing directly on the table tops, Stefan Banach's wife provided the mathematicians with a large notebook, which was used for writing the problems and answers and eventually became known as the Scottish Book. The book—a collection of solved, unsolved, and even probably unsolvable problems—could be borrowed by any of the guests of the café. Solving any of the problems was rewarded with prizes, with the most difficult and challenging problems having expensive prizes (during the Great Depression and on the eve of World War II), such as a bottle of fine brandy.

For problem 153, which was later recognized as being closely related to Stefan Banach's "basis problem", Stanisław Mazur offered the prize of a live goose. This problem was solved only in 1972 by Per Enflo, who was presented with the live goose in a ceremony that was broadcast throughout Poland.
