If you like math, cards, logic and you have some time to burn, this looks like a very interesting video. They are actually talking about whether anything is truly random or not. It’s a debate, I believe, between two professors from Stanford or somewhere. I didn’t watch most of it, but I did scan the first few minutes and found the explanation of shuffling cards and it’s lack of randomness quite interesting.

Now, I wonder if I can use this knowledge to continue my winning streak in ERS.
