Just on top of my head: a deck where the original order and shuffled order are completely uncorrelated. Or a deck where the shuffle process yields every possible order with equal probability. These two are equivalent if all cards are the same for the purpose of shuffling (no bias).



Can 7 riffles fully reverse the order of cards?


Sure. Why couldn't it?
