42The number 42 is a positive number that
follows 41 and is followed by 43.In the movie Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
the number 42 was the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe, and everything.
The number 42 may be the worlds longest riddle because in the book “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” the ultimate question was brought up in the first volume but was not answered till the final page of the fifth.

Chaos TheoryChaos Theory is about finding the
underlying pattern beneath all of the chaos that can not be avoided.
When you get findings for an experiment or measurement they will never come out exactly the same, you can’t measure to the hundredth of an inch.

Counting cards Start your count at zero then add or subtract
depending on the numbers that are reveled.For numbers between 2 and 6 you add 1 to your
count, add nothing for 7 through 9, and subtract one for 10 through ace.
When you have a high count bet high, and bet low for a low count.
Counting cards is not illegal but if you’re caught you may be invited in to the back for a back room beating.

Harriot's method of solving cubes
A system pioneered by Thomas Harriot of higher into lower order equations by setting them equal to zero.
His discovery even though very elementary was very importantHe discovered that if in an equation if x=b,x=c, and x=d then(x-b)(x-c)(x-d)=0
