Re: Randomness
Well theoretically the reason you would see events occurring again and again in a repetitive manner is because the action which causes the events occurence would be consistently occuring. I.e. On a repetitive day a car would break down at the same time consistenly because such an event is not random but the result of other consistenly occurring actions. When a poker hand is dealt the event is supposedly random and not dependant on outside variables. If this is truely the case then consequently on a groundhog style day we should see different cards being dealt everyday.
If you were to see the same poker hand being dealt again and again on this repetetive day that would indicate that the dealing of the poker hand is not random but subject to outside variables. Thus therefore in a real life situation it would be potentially possible for one to work out what cards he would receive if he knew what these determining variables were.
