Mazur awards a live goose to Per Enflo, who solved Mazur's 1936 problem in the Scottish book. The photograph comes from the book Pół wieku matematyki polskiej 1920-1970 ("Half a Century of Polish Mathematics 1920-1970").
Mazur was a close collaborator with Banach at Lwów and was a member of the Lwów School of Mathematics, where he participated in the mathematical activities at the Scottish Café. On 6 November 1936, he posed the "basis problem" of determining whether every Banach space has a Schauder basis, with Mazur promising a "live goose" as a reward: 37 years later and in a ceremony that was broadcast throughout Poland, Mazur awarded a live goose to Per Enflo for constructing a counter-example.
