[00:00:00]our honored guest. How you doing, Ben?

[00:00:02]>> I'm okay.

[00:00:03]>> Is there a problem with my paper?

[00:00:06]>> Well, you found a more efficient method for finding true zero than Isaac Newton.

[00:00:09]And that, my friend, is not so much of a problem as it is a major asskicking.

[00:00:13]Although Newton has been dead for over 250 years, so it wasn't exactly a fair fight.

[00:00:17]>> So, is this some kind of a math club?

[00:00:20]>> You ever studied uh blackjack?

[00:00:24]>> Uh, no.

[00:00:25]>> Oh, well, it's really simple, actually.

[00:00:27]You play against the dealer. Um, you're given two cards. Face cards are worth 10 points. The closest to 21 wins. If you go over, you lose. If the dealer goes over, they lose.

[00:00:41]It's the most popular card game in the world.

[00:00:44]>> It's a game of memory. Cards drawn are the past ones to come or future.

[00:00:48]>> And the best part, it's beatable.

[00:00:51]>> Are you talking about counting cards?

[00:00:54]>> No, I'm talking about getting very, very rich.
