Default Re: If I wanted to shuffle 8 decks of cards

This algorithm is flawed and will result in a biased deck.

Think about a 3 card deck. There are 27 possibilites that are equally likely. There are only 6 distinct decks. How can you divide the 27 possibilities into 6 decks? Obviously one distribution happens more than another.
