I was having snacks with a friend the other day, i had pretzels and
my friend was licking candy canes when he told me a weird story. He
said that, the night before he was at a party at some rich guy's
house, where he saw 24 faces at a table, some men , a few women, but
apparently there were only 13 hearts at the table. After a while my
friend said since i had pretzels he is going to pay up the bills. I was a little surprised, as he usually never pays. Now what did my friend see the night before and why did he pay?

It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections.
