The Start of the Game is 50 % Red and 50 % Black if you take one Red Card and then One Black Card it is still 50 % for Both!

Can you show how it changes from 50/50 in the above case to 33 from 52 which is 63.46 %

The Average Number of Guesses in The Game Has to be 26 Which is  50 % of All Possibilities from a Math point of View!

I asked you to give me the Next Guess if the first Card is Red and the Second Card is Black your reply was a 50 % Random Choice!? 50 % Random Choice from your next reply is the Average! which from the start would be  26 from 52.

Bobbym's Quotes “ I got 33 right which is probably the average amount you should get. “

The True Should be Average is 26 ...50 %

Bobbym's Quotes “ In answer to your question if the first one was red and the next one was black then flip a coin if it is heads pick red and if it is tails pick black. There is no advantage in that particular spot. “

This is where we are Years! If not Miles apart in the way we Think!! Maybe it's a Class thing? Or just that as a baby you had more Milk than me! Which on the first look most people would think that a Baby that has more Milk Ect. Would be more Intelligent? But the Truth is that when a Person learns to fight they Develop Extraordinary Abilities based on Survival!

You Are Wrong on This One!!

Good Reply bobbym

But of Course you are Seeing the Results! as this is something Normal Done/Played alone... Even though I have another version of the Game where Two People can play and use the same Rules! In a slightly different way.

So if your First Card is Red and your Second Card is Black...What is your Guess for the Third Card?

I have Devised a System for Guessing Cards Red or Black form a normal 52 Pack of Cards.

The Rules of the Game are... Use a normal 52 Pack of Cards,Shuffle them and split them a few times face down so all the Cards are Random.

Then keeping the cards face down as a Pack try to Guess whether the Top Card will be Red or Black,place all Correct Cards in one pile and all Incorrect Cards in another pile,the Idea being to Guess as many Cards Correct as possible.

If a Simple System is used like Guessing every Card will be Red or every Card will be Black it is a Guarantee to get at least 26 Correct from 52 which equals 50 %

The System I have Devised has Scored a Maximum of 40 from 52 which equals 76.92 % and never less than 30 which equals 57.69 %  over a long trial Series! Which is an average of 67.30 %

Because the Game is Random this should not be Possible!? 

Does anyone have an idea how this was done? Or do they think it is long term Luck!
