On the Mathematical Background of Gilbreath's Card Trick
In Martin Gardner's book \New mathematical diversions from Scientiic American" it is described how certain information concerning the initial distribution of a deck of cards survives an arbitrarily thorough riie shuue. This gives rise to a card trick which is attributed to Norman Gilbreath, several other tricks presented in magic journals are based on the same principle. Here we aim to generali...
متن کاملBounds from a card trick
We describe a new variation of a mathematical card trick, whose analysis leads to new lower bounds for data compression and estimating the entropy of Markov sources.
متن کاملMathematical Card Tricks
Trick: Deal 27 cards, face up onto a table in three columns with 9 cards in each. Ask your victim to choose a card but not to tell you what it is. Three times, ask in which column the card lies, and each time, collect the cards, putting the selected column between the cards in the other two columns, leaving the columns in order, and then deal the cards again by rows to make the next set of colu...
متن کاملThe Importance of Rank in Trick-Taking Card Games
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in computational complexity results in card games. We focus in this paper on trick-taking card games, extending a study started in 2013. This class ranges from WHIST and CONTRACT BRIDGE to SKAT and TAROT. We investigate how the number of cards per suit, the ranks, impacts the complexity of solving arbitrary positions. We prove that 2 distinct ranks are...
متن کاملReal-Time Opponent Modeling in Trick-Taking Card Games
As adversarial environments become more complex, it is increasingly crucial for agents to exploit the mistakes of weaker opponents, particularly in the context of winning tournaments and competitions. In this work, we present a simple post processing technique, which we call Perfect Information Post-Mortem Analysis (PIPMA), that can quickly assess the playing strength of an opponent in certain ...
