The Kruskal Count
نویسنده
چکیده
The Kruskal Count is a card trick invented by Martin Kruskal in which a magician “guesses” a card selected by a subject according to a certain counting procedure. With high probability the magician can correctly “guess” the card. The success of the trick is based on a mathematical principle related to coupling models for Markov chains. This paper analyzes in detail two simplified variants of the trick and estimates the probability of success. The results are compared with simulation data for several variants of the actual trick.

متن کاملQuasi-Spherical Light Cones of the Kerr Geometry
Quasi-spherical light cones are lightlike hypersurfaces of the Kerr geometry that are asymptotic to Minkowski light cones at infinity. We develop the equations of these surfaces and examine their properties. In particular, we show that they are free of caustics for all positive values of the Kerr radial coordinate r. Useful applications include the propagation of high-frequency waves, the defin...
