title: Are there any patterns in GoF?
body: <p>I'm currently learning for a Design Patterns exam (which will take place tomorrow...). In one of the "test exams" I found the following question: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Jim Coplien said during the invited lecture that there is not even one
    design pattern in the GoF book. What is your opinion about this?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Because I wasn't in this particular lecture (it was last semester ;) I have no clue what he could have meant. And I have no evidence that Jim Coplien said it, but I think that doesn't matter.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What do you think could he meant with this statement?</strong></p>
  
  <p>(I'm not sure if the question is appropriate for this forum, however, I wanted to ask.)</p>
