Unicorns are already extinct. I think the idea is that if we kill and eat enough of them we'll get an integer underflow glitch and we'll be back up to 2.1 billion unicorns in the world.
Yes but if it's a 64bit int we might wind up with 8 quintillion of them - we'd be neck deep or something!
This already happened, but fortunately they are distributed uniformly throughout the universe.
Actually, as they're completely extinct, if you do manage to catch and eat one, you'd suddenly be knee-deep in 4 billion of them.
That's about enough for a birthday and a Christmas gift for a year for every little girl in the world.
