Moments of the one-shuffle no-feedback card guessing game

Date: August 8, 2023

This is the third take on the card guessing game, riffle shuffle version. Under the optimal guessing strategy (no feedback version) of one-riffle-shuffle on a deck of n cards, we look at the distributions of the number of correct guesses. The techniques that have been used are clever recurrence relations and the method of indicators.
