How fast and accurate are you with your count?

You did identify the composition of the cards!

Know a player who does this in 14 seconds consistently!

Certainly, I agree with you on its importance. This step is one in a layered set of test to insure you can do them all.

Because if you can't do it one at a time then you can't do it at all. Cancelling and other techniques provide added speed and more importantly accuracy. Reconciliation of hands still takes place one card at a time.

Speed related***** dumb phone

Repeat five times with no error.

Upon successful completion, average your times and use the answer to respond to the survey.

Screwed up title in survey.........sorry.

Counting down a deck 15 seconds with a real deck dealt by hand is different in speed dealt by Casino Verite. I try counting down a deck in 25 seconds with my new graphics card in my computer in Casino Verite and I couldn't do it. But I was able to count down a deck dealing by hand under 25 seconds in real life.

I literally just did it. 12 seconds. Way off my previous best of 8 seconds.

No they could have been either two neutral or one high one low, I could only tell after looking.

Woo, average under 30 seconds.

I suppose if I counted down a deck more I could get my time down further, it's just not something I practice. Part of my trouble isn't counting related, it's physically fumbling with the cards, lol.

(Blue, I used to be consistently under 40 seconds with rubix cubes. I have a really nice 3x3 speed cube laying around somewhere. These days, I'm probably up near 2 or 3 minutes.)

I hit a plateau at 30 secs. Then all of a sudden I went under it. I think the same was for 25 secs.

Perhaps, I used a poor choice of words. What I mean is to identify the count of the missing two cards, zero if they combine to be zero, etc., which you did.

Actually, I would be highly impressed if you could identify the composition with accuracy.
