Rusty's Real Deal is... actually very creative with how it handles it. On principle, I still don't like it, but the mechanics of it were interesting enough that I tilted my head a bit.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
