this reminds me of a recurrent fantasy I had for years, where I would walk into a casino and put a million dollars on 17 black and it won.

I knew if I would gamble I would become very wealthy in my mind. i just knew it.
I was always pushed to try it.

well years later I went to vegas for a conference, I didn't gamble, I kept hearing play the roulette. play the roulette. I resisted for days.

Coming back to the room one night I bought a chip for 5 bucks, and put it on 17 black. I knew it would win. I knew ahead of time.


I just walked up to roulette table and the guys were standing around, I put it on 17 black. I watched the ball and watched 17 and I was watching 17 when the ball jumped into it. It won.

and it hit.

and I took over 100 dollars and walked away.

I wasn't surprised I knew it was going to win.


the whole thing took a minute.

The guys at the table were like totally bug eyed, and quiet.

It was really powerful minute.
I was really tempted to try again but I said no.

I knew the next one would be 23 red.

I never gambled since.

You see, there are forces at work I know now that I didn't know then. I could just know. Events are not random, when needed, things happen. But I never tried it again. there was a strong force that said DON'T . And I didn't. I don't need those forces.

And I have been happy and poor ever since.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('GoghGoner', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jasonraymondson', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('angrybill', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('bratticus', 'W')hatever the compiler defaults auto array memory to.

int a[2];
*a;

What is resulting number of such?


0? An empty array should always default to zero


The answer doesn't fit b/w 1-99 using the compiler of gcc version 4.3.2:

134514233

I do find the consistency of the answer very eery, though, and I think it could mean something, where is golem?

CODE:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

main()
{
int a[2];
cout << *a;
return 0;
}


Thanks for giving a resulting number to that array.

77?
Are you mad? Who in their right mind would type 77?
77 is Soooooo 80's.
It clashes with everything.
Try typing it backwards instead.

Hey, I had 77 back a couple of pages ago. You gotta problem with 77? Too bad. I LIKE 77, it's not 80's at all. It's way earlier....early 60's. 77 sunset strip It's my lucky number.

I went to Vegas once and was up over $700 on the craps table. Then I lost half of it and quit while I was ahead. Pocketed over three hundred dollars.

When I was young, all the kids in the neighborhood would go poke sticks at Mr Caveman. We called him that because he was big, and hairy, lived in a cave and sometimes would eat one of us.

When I was older I found out he was a bear.
