I was trying to think of some exercises to do today
and i remembered one i had seen on a site a while back.
i cant recall exactly where i seen it but it was probably psipog.
you take a deck of cards and choose any card in it.
for example the 5 of spades.
you then shuffle the pack significantly and remove 6 cards at a time.
checking after each 6 to see that the 5 of spades is not there.
the aim is to remove the card last.
on average you will remove the card when there is 25 or 26 remaining.
Just thought it might help.
