Question: How long did Whitehead and Russell expect to spend creating Principia Mathematica?

Answer: a year

<hl> Whitehead and Russell had thought originally that Principia Mathematica would take a year to complete; it ended up taking them ten years. <hl> To add insult to injury, when it came time for publication, the three-volume work was so massive (more than 2,000 pages) and its audience so narrow (professional mathematicians) that it was initially published at a loss of 600 pounds, 300 of which was paid by Cambridge University Press, 200 by the Royal Society of London, and 50 apiece by Whitehead and Russell themselves. Despite the initial loss, today there is likely no major academic library in the world which does not hold a copy of Principia Mathematica.
