After the shameful loss in the match against Jesus Quintana, The Dude, Donny
and Walter decided to turn to poker and become rounders. First of all,
they decided to learn to deal with cards.
Walter gave Donny a simple task—he should split a deck of 52 cards into
four piles in such a way that cards in each pile would be sorted in the order
of ascending value. Two should be the topmost card, three should be the next card
and so on. Ace should lie in the bottom. Walter wanted all decks to be comprised
of the cards of the same suit but he forgot to mention it. As a result, the
suits in piles were shuffled.
The Dude decided to
save the day. But after five White Russians he poured into himself yesterday
he isn't in a good condition for thinking. In fact, he is able to perform only
the following actions:
-
take a few cards of one suit from the top of a deck and create a new deck of them;
-
take a few cards of one suit from the top of a deck and put them onto a card which
value is greater by one than the value of the bottommost of the taken cards.
The Dude doesn't change the order of cards while moving them.
Help The Dude to complete Walter's task before Walter get insane and
shoot both his best friends with Uzi.
