All that parents could want for their children

Bob Dylan's "Forever Young". Don't like the song but the lyrics are beautiful.

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

A $10,000 Bet with a Bartender... Would you take it?

From Algorithms in a Nutshell by O'Reilly:

"A bartender offers the following $10,000 bet to any patron. "I will choose a number from 1 to 1,000,000 and you can guess 20 numbers, one at a time; after each guess, I will either tell you TOO LOW, TOO HIGH, or YOU WIN. If you win in 20 questions, I give you $10,000; otherwise, you give me $10,000." Would you take this bet?"

So, would you take the bet?

You should, but why?
