Deterministic Solitaire

Monte Carlo Win Percentages

This widget uses Monte Carlo sampling to estimate the win percentage in a simple solitaire game, where you win if the top k cards appear in increasing order. It would be a pain to shuffle a deck by hand this many times but the computer is happy to do it without getting bored.

This widget is part of my Introduction to Discrete MCMC and corresponds to the examples in Section 3 of my typed notes.
