In case nobody has noticed, I wanted to see how long it would take to
sort 52 numbers since doing so would give me a way to shuffle a deck
of cards: assign a random number to each card and sort the random
numbers. If there are no collisions in the random numbers you will get
back a nicely shuffled deck.

I began looking at card shuffling because I want to make a small
tutorial for VIFF, something that will explain how to make a program.
And for that I figured that some card game would be cool. I don't know
which game yet, so let let me know if you have any good idea!
