My view on this - and I am not inclined to calculate the probability myself - is that when the probability of finding the bottom card in the pile at the top of the pile is exactly 1/52, that is when we can consider the pack to be truly random. The easiest way I can see is to calculate the expected 'position increase' for a single card per shuffle (I feel this would be different for each card depending on its position) and find a summation until the bottom card has a 1/52 chance of rising to the top. I hope there is a more elegant solution.

Vigmeister and I collectively had the same solution then in separate posts. I would combine it with the 'surface freezing concept' to go even faster! Vigmeister assumed you need 4 cubes to hold up a tray though and someone else came up with the 2 cube idea... However vigmeister and I are the same person, so I claim the solution

Was Raif able to estimate a time of death and signs of a struggle?
-
I carry the body into my quarters, sterilize my dagger and conduct an autopsy as best as I can. After 30mins, I return to the deck with the body wrapped in the sheets of my bed and addressing the crew, I say "Ranus trusted you to run this ship and that means you have my trust. Here's what I found ..." Perhaps unreality can fill in the rest for me... I propose that we all use first person speech and use different colors for each character. We'll reserve black for non-character speak. What do you all think? Zara's got blue and I pick green

As Raif's eyes lit up at the thought of the tavern, he was thinking "Bless Parecci for the unsolicited information", he noticed Sarcas bringing up the sack of potatoes with a deathly pallor. As the crew saw Ranus's limp body roll out of the bag, Raif felt the ground below him give way. As he dropped to his knees, he was disconsolate, but his face showed nothing. Expressionless, he walked to the corpse and started wrestling with the cold body of Ranus. When Raif was done, Ranus looked at peace. As if his death were painless. He turned to the crew - the body still on the deck and with a voice that betrayed his emotions, he bellowed, "Nobody touches Ranus". Turning to Zara, he said in a controlled voice, "Ranus was a very important person in my life and you know that. It is important to me to cremate him at the earliest. I am ashamed that my lust for revenge precedes my respect for his dignity. I would like to perform an autopsy on Ranus before we cremate him and I request your co-operation." Edit: Having trouble with deciding on the tense I should use
