What I mean is - there are many many articles/papers on the web
referred that cards are likely to be disturbuted randomly by 7 times
of "Perfect Shuffles". I wish to implement an algorithm to test the
"randomness" after different kind of shuffling methods, not only
Perfect Shuffle.

Appreciated for help. Looking forward for everybody replies.

Many thanks again.
