Broke ass 21 year old here man . Can ' t afford it lmao <| sep |> Are you overclocking or no ? <| sep |> I thought that ' s how I got it , but it ' s not working now . <| sep |> Except it doesn ' t , since the next riffle shuffle will break those up . Yes every riffle at most doubles the number of ordered runs , that is the entire basis of the reasonably famous paper that gave the 7 shuffles number . So of course after one you can only have two if you started with an ordered deck . Given a 60 card deck you need at least 6 to be able to get the exactly inverted ordering of what you started with which is essential , if there ' s an ordering that is impossible to reach with your shuffling then it isn ' t random . Of course if you Faro shuffle instead of riffle shuffling you are cheating too . Since like pile shuffling it also doesn ' t randomize the deck if it did it wouldn ' t be so useful to doing card tricks . Comparing two nonshuffles and declaring that that means that every other method of shuffling doesn ' t work is just being silly .
