But even to compare two hands it gets weird...

my @b = 6,9,6;
my $pa = [+] @a;
my $pb = [+] @b;
if ($pa <= 21 && $pb <= 21) {
if ($pa > $pb) {
# B0RK3D

That happens because $pa and $pb are a singular value, and that's how
junctions work... The blackjack program is an example for sets, not
junctions.
The blackjack program is an excellent example for junctions (and not so
good for sets, IMHO). The problem in the example above is that the
calculation of the value of a hand was not completed. The complete
calculation is as follows:
my $pa = ([+] @a).eigenstates.grep{$_ <21}.max
If the result is undef, then the @a hand is a bust, and comparing $pa to
a similarly calculated $pb is sane.
