Not *my* friend! :-o

This is the first thread containing a puzzle that has interested me
for months! I don't want to whisk it away just because it was
discussed at some point in 2007! :-o


Actually, maybe Google is my friend.

Alan: I'll take even.
Bob: Okay, then I'll take odd. Ready? Go!
Alan: 7
Bob: 2
Alan: 7
Bob: 5
Alan: 9
Bob: 3
Alan: Okay... Googling for 727593. 6,370 hits found. Is that what
you got?
Bob: Yeah. 6 plus 3 plus 7 plus 0 equals 16. Looks like you win the
coin flip.
