twenty-one
(gcide) | Vingt et un \Vingt` et` un"\ [F., twenty and one.]
A game at cards, played by two or more persons. The fortune
of each player depends upon obtaining from the dealer such
cards that the sum of their pips, or spots, is twenty-one, or
a number near to it; -- also called blackjack, or
twenty-one.
Note: There are several variations (such as {Caribbean
blackjack}). In the most common variation played in
casinos, there is one dealer who plays for the house,
and up to seven players. The players and dealer each
receive two cards, the dealer's cards usually being one
face up and one face down. The players each in turn
decide whether they will request additional cards
("hit"), the objective being to reach a sum of card
values as close as possible to twenty-one, without
exceeding that number. If, on hitting, the player's
total card values exceed 21, he has "busted", and lost
his bet. Otherwise, the player wins only if his total
card values exceed those of the dealer. "picture cards"
(or "face cards", being the jack, queen, and king) are
counted as having a value of ten. The ace may count as
one or eleven, at the player's option. Other than to
hit, there are also other possible actions by the
player, such as to "double down" (receive only one
additional card, while doubling the initial bet), or to
"split" (if the first two cards have the same value).

eighty-twenty rule
(foldoc) | eighty-twenty rule
80/20 rule
The program-design version of the law of
diminishing returns. The 80/20 rule says that roughly 80% of
the problem can be solved with 20% of the effort that it would
take to solve the whole problem.
For example, parsing e-mail addresses in "From:" lines in
e-mail messages is notoriously difficult if you follow the RFC
2822 specification. However, about 60% of actual "From:"
lines are in the format "From: Their Name ", with a
far more constrained idea of what can be in "user" or "host"
than in RFC 2822. Another 25% just add double-quotes around
"Their Name". Matching just those two patterns would thus
cover 85% of "From:" lines, with a tiny portion of the code
required to fully implement RFC2822.
(Adding support for "From: user@host" and "From: user@host
(Their Name) " brings coverage to almost 100%, leaving only
really baroque things that RFC-2822 permits, like "From:

TWENTY YEAR
(bouvier) | TWENTY YEARS. The lapse of twenty years raises a presumption of certain
facts, and after such a time, the party against whom the presumption has
been raised, will be required to prove a negative to establish his rights.
2. After twenty years from the time it became due, a bond will be
presumed to have been paid. 2 Cranch, 180; 3 Day, 289; 1 McCord, 145; 2 N. &
McC. 160; 1 Bay. 482; 9 Watts, 441; 2 Speers, 357. And the same presumption
arises that a judgment has been paid, if no steps have been taken by the
plaintiff for twenty years after its rendition. 3 Brev. 476; 5 Conn. 1.
3. But the presumption of such payment is easily rebutted, by showing
that interest has been regularly paid. 1 Bailey, 148; that the obliger has
admitted it has not been paid 2 Harring, 124; 9 N. H. Rep. 398; or other
circumstances calculated to rebut the presumption. The proof of facts which
show that the obligor was poor and not likely to be able to pay the debt, is
not sufficient. 5 Vern. 236.
4. When a debt is payable in installments and secured by a penal bond,
the presumption of payment arising from lapse of time applies to each
installment as it falls due. 3 Harring. 421.
5. By the English act of limitation, 21 Jac. 1, c. 16, the period
during which a possessory action for land can be sustained is fixed at
twenty years, so that an adverse possession of twenty years is a bar to an
action of ejectment, and such lapse of time gives a possessory title to the
land. This period has been adopted in many of the states of the Union, but
there has been some variation in others. See Limitation of actions.
6. But this statute did not affect incorporeal hereditaments, which
remained as before. In analogy to the act of limitation the courts presumed
a grant after twenty years adverse possession. And new grants are presumed
upon proof of an adverse, exclusive, and uninterrupted enjoyment of an
incorporeal hereditament at the end of twenty years. And the burden of
proving that the possession was adverse, that is, under a claim of title,
with the knowledge or acquiescence of the owner of the land; and also that
it was uninterrupted, rests on the party claiming such incorporeal
hereditaments. 3 Kent, 441; 1 Cheves, R. 2; 4 Mason, 402; 2 Roll. Ab. 269; 2
Greenl. Ev. 444.
7. The time of enjoyment of a former owner who is in privity with the
claimant, can, in general, be joined to his own in order to make up the
period of twenty years, as in the case of the heir and ancestor, of grantor
and grantee. 9 Pick. 251. But the enjoyment of a former owner whose title
has escheated to the state by forfeiture, cannot be added to the time of the
enjoyment of the grantee of the state. 2 Greenl. Ev. 543.
