I mean, I kinda like abstruse math puzzles. I've tried watching Countdown to see if if I can get the equations right. I might enjoy trying this once just to— I'm sorry, is there an N! card in that last picture??? They want you to do factorials in your head??? What sort of sadism???

As much as I’m the kind of person who’d get pleasure working out the best score for my cards, I’m sure I’d be completely frustrated by how far removed that activity is from the actual decision to draw or stand.

It’s entirely solvable, though, so long as you’re happy remembering 5,995 card pairs (and 215,820 triplets, and 5,773,185 quartets), and the masochistic, maths-enjoying part of me is tempted to do so.

Yeah, I can totally see myself being masochistic enough to try it once. But I don't think anyone would enjoy waiting for me to do polynomial math in my head!

There are different difficulty levels, so you can avoid adding cards that are too tough. But I wanted to shuffle everything together at least once.
