Who would have thought that the non-trivial Fibonacci numbers (i.e., 2, 3, 5, 8, . . . .) would be at the heart of a mathematically "indestructible" packet of playing cards that is invariant under virtually every systematic mixing procedure used today? This packet structure (called a Bessey sequence of order 8), as well as its higher-order analogs, cannot be truly randomized using any of these common mixing procedures in any quantity or in any order!

Technical Notes:

(A) The Four Pile Shuffle is also called an Inverse LR Shuffle and is denoted by (LR)^(-1), where the exponent "-1" is a notational device representing the dealing out of a complete cycle-length of cards (which, here, is four cards) from Left to Right followed by dealing out the remaining cycle-length of cards (also from Left to Right) on top of those just dealt.

(B) The Reverse Four Pile Shuffle is also called a Reverse Inverse LR Shuffle and is denoted by (LR)^(-R), where the "R" in the exponent "-R" is a notational device representing the reversal of the order of dealing out the second cycle-length of cards for an Inverse LR Shuffle.
