The Devil and Simon Flagg

I originally came across this delightful short story in a mathematical text on Fermat's Last Theorem (I've forgotten its name, but suffice it to say I probably wasn't reading it in any depth). It says more about academics than it does about the Devil.

    This short story also appears in the book "Fantasia Mathematica" by Clifton Fadiman..
