Like counting cards in Vegas, but this one was used to beat a TV game show out of some big 💰:

"After weeks of painstaking scrutiny Michael realized that the bouncing prize selector did not actually move randomly; it always followed one of five lengthy sequences"

The show was in 1984, the article from 2011. Via Hacker News.

Great read.

Really chuffed that I'm starting to get some people donating to me via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rtwilson as a thank you for geospatial things I've created like the FreeGISData site (https://freegisdata.rtwilson.com/), British Placename Mapper (https://placenames.rtwilson.com/) and my blog (https://blog.rtwilson.com/). It's a relatively small amount of money but it puts a big smile on my face :)

“Everything at 100 pesetas”

A throwback sign on a side street in Petrer, Alicante, Spain.

The peseta was Spain’s monetary unit from 1868 until 2002 when it was replaced by the euro. The original exchange rate was approximately: 166 pesetas = 1 euro.

Did you know that Jean-Paul , the literary , may have asked for money after he declined the ?

In 1964, Satre won the Nobel Prize for for his (depressing) catalogue of novels.
He declined.

His rejection caused a scandal (to Satre's chagrin), & the prize remained unawarded.

In 1975, the received a letter asking if the prize would still be available.

It isn't known if Satre or someone close to him sent it.

grew at 1.6% annual rate in first quarter 2024, a sharp slowdown

“Growth is slowing, but clearly the economy is still on a solid path,” said Ben Ayers, snr economist at Nationwide, which recently scrapped its recession forecast for the year. “We’ve had very strong growth that’s fueling higher incomes, giving people the to go out & spend. But that’s also kept high, so honestly a little bit of cooling is good news.”

#Trump's history of tipping off #tabloids about his life was a known fact well before TheApprentice.

"He was very cautious & very frugal, #Pecker said of Trump's approach to #money.

Testimony from Pecker that establishes Trump's track record of keeping a close eye on his #finances - “almost a micromanager," Pecker said - will help prosecution prove that Trump falsified #HushMoney records to cover up a sex scandal to influence the 2016 election.
