Inspired by poker, John von Neumann developed the idea of bluffing in a mathematical way.
This work led to the birth of game theory, the study of strategic decision-making between rational players.
Today, game theory is widely used in economics, political science, philosophy, and computer science.
Von Neumann realized that probability alone cannot fully explain games like poker because players also choose strategies.
In zero-sum games, he showed that players can adopt strategies that minimize their possible losses.
He first presented these ideas in 1928 and later expanded them in the famous 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, written with economist Oskar Morgenstern.

69 is the coolest number in this universe.

Out of all the numbers to ever exist in this universe, it is the only number that does this.
