    Bridge Score: 110 Moves: 204

    The Guide checks through its Sub-Etha-Net database and eventually comes up
    with the following entry:

    Scientists have long known how to produce FINITE amounts of improbability,
    using a finite Improbability Generator, an atomic vector plotter and a good
    source of Brownian motion. Recently, however, they have learned to generate
    INFINITE amounts, thanks to the invention of the Infinite Improbability
    Generator. It is rumored that an Infinite Improbability Drive, based on
    this new generator, is currently under development. Also see the entries on
    atomic vector plotter and Brownian motion.

    The Guide checks through its Sub-Etha-Net database and eventually comes up
    with the following entry:

    The best randomness generator is simple Brownian motion. Any hot gas or
    liquid is a good source.

  • Java Dev

    We need to combine the portable improbability generator, the atomic vector plotter, and the ATS.



  • Or we could just smack Marvin.



  • Marvin!

    Come over here...



  • @PleegWat Can we use the liquid mostly but not entirely unlike tea, for the brownian motion?


  • Java Dev

    @xaade The Advanced Tea Substitute, also abbreviated as ATS? I think so.
