asking Concept name? origin?

Postby Rana » Sep 13th, '08, 00:49



Hi everyone,

I can't remember where I read about this method: I think it might be in Hugard's encyclopedia, but can't seem to find it.

Without giving out to much, it's a way of assigning numbers to cards and having an initial sum; then if any card is taken, one can do the count again and find out what the missing card is.

I remember bits of the method but missing some steps; can anyone help?

PS: had someone pick a card today, and instead of putting it back, he hid it.. how I wished I invested learning this method and I could've blown him away :(

That sounds like Strange Travelers?

Barton: Have you read the Bible, Pete?
Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

Hi Ian,

couldn't find it in Hugard's Encyclopedia, and I am pretty sure it's not from RRTCM :(

PS. sent you a PM

Could you be thinking of clocking a deck a la Diploplia perhaps? Counting the values of the cards, reducing from 12 etc?
