On the index, I link to a PDF written by Brad Mann from Harvard that studies the Riffle Shuffle, which includes the birthday paradox and Markov chains. I could certainly create a page that summarized the highlights in that PDF, and what it takes to introduce sufficient unpredictability into a standard deck using the Riffle Shuffle. I think there are other pages that could be created, minimizing the amount of content that needs to be digested on each page. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
