  1. n. An unnamed game played at the Bayon (or any place giving fortune cookies containing so-called lucky numbers) in which the winner is designated as the person with the highest score, the score being defined as the sum of the unique prime factors of the lucky numbers. There are traditionally four lucky numbers in the range 1-54, inclusive. For example, the numbers 7, 24, 43, and 51 yield a score of 72. The record is something like 124. The theoretical highest possible score is 53 + 47 + 43 + 41 = 184.
