Consideration Period:

The dealer mixes the cards with lightning speed.... behold the LGT shuffle!

---------------------------------------------------

0, 2, 5, 6, 2, 4, 5, 3, 7, 4

---------------------------------------------------

rawr121 - Starting Chips: 144
Zinger - Starting Chips: 190

---------------------------------------------------

The consideration period has begun! You each have two tokens. These tokens can be used to purchase hints to the algorithm. A hint for an algorithm comes at the cost of one Token. If you have already bought the hint for a specific algorithm, you can spend a second Token to buy the rest of the sequence (numbers 11-20). Or you can just buy the rest of the sequence for both of your Tokens!

If you think this is too difficult, you can RESET at the cost of 25 chips to your opponent. This request can come from 1 or both of you, but can only happen once per game. A reset will be announced at the end of a round and will mark a new consideration period.

Round 1 will begin on Monday, April 15th at 11 PM EST.

ROUND 1

Did you have enough time to figure out the wonderful shuffling technique? Because your fate in this game may in fact depend on it.

---------------------------------------------------------------

rawr121 - Starting Chips: 144
Zinger - Starting Chips: 190

------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 1 begins now and lasts until 11 PM EST on Tuesday, April 16th.

Please be sure to mail me the FIVE cards you would like for Round 1 (example: #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5), or you may elect to pay the LGT 2 chips so that the Joker finds its way into your hand, choosing the other 4 cards (Example: #1, #2, #3, #4, and Joker).

Please remember that hints are always available through spending the Two tokens you have, and a reset is available if you think the shuffle is too difficult!
