What's the probability of being able to do CC's solution? The factors are

-A 4/3 opening with a shelter last
-One of top 4 cards of the next shuffle being Hamlet, and the other 4 of the top 5 being Nomad Camp, Watchtower and the 2 shelters that were reshuffled
-The top 4 cards of the next shuffle being 2x Procession, Nomad Camp and Watchtower, then the next 2 being Peddler and Hamlet in either order.

The probabilty seems pretty high for something so mind blowing. Has anyone tried replicating this in Goko (if all the cards are there; I've never used it).

4/3 opening: 5/12
Shelter last in 4/3 opening: 3/5
Top six cards after shuffle are the three shelters, watchtower, hamlet, Nomad camp: 1/728
hamlet is one of the top 5: 4/5
Cards 2-5 after shuffle are 2 procession, nomad camp, watchtower: 1/1820
Cards 6-7 are Peddler and hamlet: 1/66
Chance of pulling off CC's incredible solution:  0.00000022870902%

I think I did it right.... anyway, I'd be surprised if anyone has done it :P

It's the top 5 cards after the first shuffle that matter (the third shelter is a residual), and Cards 1-4 and 5-6 of the second shuffle, but otherwise that seems right. The probabilities will be slightly higher because there's one fewer card in each shuffle, and one less "key" card in the first.

It is a very low probability indeed though; I forgot how unlikely specific shuffles of card decks were. I had hope because there were only 2 reshuffles, but there you go.
