The Happy Haven

For young Bill, the one time child mathematical prodigy, life is good--very, very good. After graduation from one of the finest universities in the world, he and three of his fellow prodigies are hired by a private business consortium. The consortium consists of powerful individuals that are seeking an advantage in the world of business. What they are asking Bill and his friends to do is to create a machine that will clearly give them such an advantage, and in return have been promised riches and pleasures beyond any of their imaginations.
But one day, Bill, on a rest and relaxation period, receives a message from his three friends. The message asks him for an answer to a question by which the machine they successfully constructed can be tested for reliability. The question, however, is one that Bill finds annoying. It is a question for which he knows there is no truthful answer, and worse, goes well beyond the nature of science. The question also begins to wear on his conscious, and before long, something begins to make sour the sweet, sweet life he lives.
What that question is and how Bill arrives at the answer just might be found at The Happy Haven.
