Currently the wording "random stack" is slightly misleading - not all stacks get the same chance of being selected.

The game code chooses a stack by giving the top stack a 50% chance of being selected, and then halving the chances after that until you are out of stacks.


"Random" stack selection
Stack # Chance of selection
1 (aka top) 50%
2 25%
3 12.5%
4 6.25%
5 3.12%
6 1.56%
7 0.78%
8 0.39%
9 0.19%
10 0.01%
