pyramid scheme

illegal money-making arrangement where great wealth is promised, usually in a relatively short period of time.
very few people, if anyone, end up making any money, and in fact end up GIVING money in their vain hope of striking it rich.

there are many organizations which are, in reality,legalized versions of the pyramid scheme - Amway is probably the most well known and has been around the longest.

scheme

Scheme is a high-level functional programming language. A minimalist dialect of the Lisp programming language, Scheme focuses largely on simplicity, having a very basic syntax and only including core features thought necessary to the language.

(define (factorial n)
(cond ((= n 0) 1)
(else (* n (factorial (- n 1))))))

"get rich quick" scheme that really works

Simple --- just publish a book that merely **claims** to tell you how to "get rich quick", sell lots of copies to greedy naive hopefuls, and then retire to a posh villa in Tahiti on the royalties.

I have developed a "get rich quick" scheme that really works, but you'll hafta shell out a small fortune for my book and da related materials in order to succeed.
