   I think that game should end at the question of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_there_is_anything_at_all . I don't actually think the anthropic principle is capable of tackling that one.

    Your statement about in shuffles for general n is false. Consider that an in shuffle on n cards is identical to an out shuffle on the middle n of n+2 cards. Also, the statement in the article is for a random riffle, not a perfect one. Any d
