The best (in the ordinary sense of the word) shuffle is the result of a random process, in which every possible permutation has a 1/n! chance of occurring, including the original sequence itself. Does this "best" term come from some literature on random sequences? [[Special:Contributions/192.139.122.42|192.139.122.42]] 22:45, 14 October 2011 (UTC) |

: Probably not. By requiring minimal overlapping with the original string, it kills a lot of randomness. But the task's intention is pretty clear, though. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 23:03, 14 October 2011 (UTC) |
