Hi...

Any thoughts on some Best ways to Pick Red & Black Cards Correct from a Real Pack of (52) Cards! ?

If someone Picks All the same Colour then they must Score 50% (26) Correct...So that's the Starting amount to try and Beat!

Assign the 52 cards numbers in your program. Each number can be used in the real card image file name and they can be chosen from an array randomly, shuffled etc.

If someone picks 26 red cards randomly out of 52 then they are very lucky. The odds are a lot higher than 50%!

If someone picks 26 red cards (they are Not! doing it randomly!) because the method they use is that every card they choose is by choice the colour Red! which equals (52) picks of the same colour! Guaranteed to score 50% (26) cards Correct!

Now back to the Challenge! I have an Algorithm which always Beats 50% in fact my Best Score is (39) Correct from 52 cards! that's 75% WOW!! (Can anyone Beat that!) :lol:
