Description
Have you ever wondered how many times you need to shuffle a deck of cards until it is random enough? Have you ever been dealt a hand of cards and wondered if the deck was even shuffled at all? As we explore the mathematics behind the simple act of shuffling cards, we learn our techniques may not be as random as we thought.
