    I did say 'possum with an apostrophe, not correct but half way to proper spelling, lol.

    That's true. I didn't even notice. :)

    A riffle shuffle (pictured above) requires seven shuffles to randomize a 52-card deck. Laying cards face-down on a table and mixing them by pushing them around (a technique researchers dubbed “smooshing”) requires 30 to 60 seconds to randomize the cards. An overhand shuffle — taking sections from a deck and moving them to new positions — is a staggeringly poor method of randomizing, requiring some 10,000-11,000 iterations.

    The comments are the best. Passed this along to my daughter and her boyfriend who plays card games like Pokémon competitively.
