I wonder how damaged the card was afterwords? If I recall correctly, the 407 can confetti a deck pretty well. It wasn't as good as the sorters, but it could usually manage.

The 407 had the ability to suppress card advance and re-read the same card multiple times. Someone figured out how to use that feature to perform multiplication by repeated addition. No doubt would have been a slow as heck, but amazing that it could be done at all. -- Joel C.
