I, for one (not a statistically valid sample) felt compelled to run the applet a statistically valid number of times. Maybe you should try Vegas cause I think you just got lucky.

Hey Toad - Thanks for the card example - that's a good one. I think my intuition is catching on. Griff's Dairy farmer uncle will like this one at the next family gathering.
