Congratulations were showered on Kaplan. His number 49 had won the lottery jackpot.
“Say Kaplan, asked Goldstein, how did you happen to pick number 49?”
“I saw it in a dream. Six sevens appeared and danced before my eyes. Six times seven is 49, and that’s all there was to it.”
“But six times seven is 42 not 49?”
“Hah? . . . All right, so you be the mathematician!”
