- From a glance at the archives, I think it's me you mean. Unless
there's a Paul Brown who has done further work identifying randomness
flaws in Solitaire...
http://www.hedonism.demon.co.uk/paul/solitaire/
I've now identified the source of the bias; I'll try and put it on the
Web pages in the next few days.
You might also be interested in hearing about a similar (but *much*
smaller) flaw in RC4:
