Today’s book is Casino Confidential: A Pit Boss’s Guide To Beating The House. Let’s stick with the gambling theme and play a little roulette. I’ve selected one number on the wheel. First person to randomly guess it wins the book. (One guess per person.)
For another way to win books and mental_floss t-shirts, send us a picture of you and our magazine. Email it to flossypics@gmail.com (more details here).
Update: Black 24! The winner is KerriH. I’ll be in touch about your book. Thanks for playing! Get us your pics-with-the-mag for more chances to win.

I chose pi because I like to lose spectacularly.

Oh Samantha you just made me burst out laughing! Unfortunately I’m sitting in my cubicle at work and everyone came running to see why I was in hysterics….

Pi is a perfectly logically choice. How else are you going to find the ratio of a wheel’s circumference to its diameter? Three just doesn’t cut it.
