Here's a Ruby one-liner

    n=1234567;(1..n).reduce{|t,n|s=i=0;loop{i+=1;s+=rand;break if s>=1};t+i}.to_f/n

I might be the last one on earth that still runs a Rails 1.1.x app. This time the ancient one dodged a bullet.

Tried it on a Mac mini of age but still a Core 2 Duo. It was very slow in Google Chrome. If it's moving smoothly on more modern computer I guess It's time to upgrade.

On another note, I believe that this is why native still is around.

In Ruby:

  # Ethiopian Multiplication
  # usage: ruby em.rb 673 7
  m, n = ARGV.map(&:to_i)
  product = 0
  while m >= 1
    puts "%4d : %4d %s" % [m, n, m.even? ? "Ignore" : ""]
    product += n unless m.even?
    m = m / 2
    n = n * 2
  end
  puts "Product: #{product}"
