52 cards takes 8 perfect riffles to return the cards to their original order
104 cards takes 51 perfect riffles
156 cards takes 20
208 cards takes 66
260 cards takes 36
312 cards takes 155
364 cards takes 110
416 cards takes 164



Thanks ThatDonGuy. What a strange and totally counter-intuitive (well for me at least) pattern. Add an additional 52 cards and the amount of riffles increases. Add another 52 after that and the amount of riffles decreases. I don't know why but I find a strange beauty in that. Wish I had a better mind for math. This sort of reminds me of the strangeness of infinity that Georg Cantor revealed. I know the re-ordering of the cards and infinity are separate concepts but I like how both run the opposite of what a layman would think was logical.

If they get their $$$ back for this incident where they didn't shuffle prior to play, they should also return all losses to all players in previous days where there was an illegal non-shuffle.



If there was any evidence for that, then they would have to.
