Final answer:
The highest number in roulette and the number of righteous men in each generation according to Jewish legend both correspond to the number 36. Option a) 36 is the correct answer to this question.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to this question is both part of Jewish legend and also related to a popular casino game. According to Jewish legend, there are 36 righteous people (known as the Lamed Vav Tzadikim) in each generation whose role in life is to justify the purpose of humankind in the eyes of God. In the context of roulette, 36 is the highest number on the wheel, ignoring the 0 or 00 that are present in different versions of the game. The option that corresponds to both of these is a) 36. We can discard choices b) 666, c) 18, and d) 00 as they do not fit the criteria described in the question.
