That would indeed work. But be careful, by the time you reached the higher values, they either have founded a union or privatized and subsidized the card-holding-and-coming-ahead-business.Originally Posted by PING
What I had in mind with a hundred Germans was this : Give each German a card, then start calling out the card number one by one, in order, and the respective German would come ahead and deposit the card
Sending the pack of cards to some outsourced card sorting company is cheaper, but due to communication issues, you will always have to do it twice. They sorted by suit and value while you wanted value and suit or something like that.
For more fun on expense of other (or your own) nations, read the "Xenophobe's Guide"s.
I didn't intend on picking on indians or ukrainians, while for a pack of cards it may seem funny, hiring 2 or 3 people from there indeed is cheaper than doing it yourself. Or it appears that way, until you learn that properly defining what you want takes so much time, that you could have done it yourself.
