So, what else can we talk about while we wait? Or in other words to those who haven't voted yet: what are your thoughts? Are there still some questions to be answered before you decide?

What, are you talking about the fact that there were no cows? I mean, it was just a legend...

What is your position on protein supplements?

A very easy one.

zeo divides the remaining cards between 2 envelopes, such that each contains at least 3 cards.

He than randomly selects an envelope and then randomly selects 3 cards from that envelope.

How should zeo divide the cards to maximize the probability of at least 2L cards being drawn?

I have now voted. Sorry for being MIA, the last couple of days have been busy.

That certainly can change the chance of what is drawn, but not the odds of what kind of cards are drawn.

Why not shuffle the cards, draw 1,
shuffle, draw 1,
shuffle, draw 1?

Yes it does change the odds.

Consider this: He puts LLLF in one envelope and the rest (8F, 1L) in another.
The odds of drawing at least 2L becomes exactly 0.5. He needs to select the envelope with the 3 liberal policies (in which case he's guaranteed to get at least 2L). If he selects the other one, he definitely fails.

Now consider he puts LLLFFF in one and the rest (6F, 1L) in another. The odds of drawing at least 2L become smaller than 0.5. Not only he needs to draw the one envelope with 3Ls (0.5 chance), he then needs to make sure out of the 6 cards inside it he draws at least 2L.

So as you can see dividing those cards in different ways does change the odds of what kind of cards are drawn.

So, how should zeo divide the cards between the envolopes to get the highest probability of at least 2L being drawn?

But he wouldn't know which one had what. Yes they are bound to be unbalanced but unless you know which one is heavy in what, you're more likely to screw yourself and less to help yourself.

I own the board game and play regularly.

I have never played Secret Hitler before this game.

Ditto. I know pretty much only what i've seen from watching TB from 2-3 years ago.

Khm, I think you forgot to cast your vote dear Supple

You choose envelopes randomly. Don't look at their weight.

It's a mathematical problem. Divide them in such a way to give yourself the best odds when drawing. (By the way, those odd will be higher than the odds of randomly drawing from a single pile)

I like to drag it out but I've voted now

2L and 1F in 1 pack and the rest of the cards in the other pack?

I'm fine with them as long as I'm not made into one.

Why should he do that? That's not in the rules.
