Turkey Talk: November Low Content Thread

[mntndrew]

Conversation at the table yesterday:

P1: "My daughter majors in microbiology. What's that?"
P2: "I know what that is."
P1: "What, are you some kind of scientist?"
P2: "I was a math major in college, master's in CS."

P2 pauses to look at his hand, disgustedly mucks and asks the dealer to scramble the deck, then repeats his request 3 times in the next 10 minutes. I could stand to improve my win rate. Is there a math major here that can explain to me the mathematics of the scramble?
