-- Blackjack Reloaded!

We're carrying last time's challenge over to tonight. To review, your task is to build a blackjack player with a winning strategy against a casino dealer. Your player interacts with the dealer through a RESTful Web interface hosted at http://dojo.v.wc1.atti.com/. Here is the API:

Show the "leaderboard".

	-- A Game of Blackjack


	Your challenge tonight is to build a blackjack player to play the dealer through
	a RESTful web interface. The web service is hosted at http://dojo.v.wc1.atti.com/.
	Here is the interface:

	Show the "leaderboard".

	from random import random
	points = [(random(), random(),) for i in range(2000000)]
	inside = lambda p: (p[0]2 + p[1]2) < 1
	i, o = 0, 0

	for p in points:
	if inside(p): i += 1
	else: o += 1

	print "Pi:", (float(i)/len(points)) * 4
