The question was a result of a five-dollar bet between two computer engineers – Alexander Adell and Bertram Lupov, both of whom are “faithful servants” of Multivac, a giant, “self-adjusting and self-correcting” supercomputer that controls all major technological and energy-based operations on the planet.
