Say, this is mystifying already.
Have you finished dealing the heap, Rhoda?
You know the number of cards in it.
That is, you counted them.
All right.
Now deal two more heaps.
Each with that same number.
That's what I want you to do.
Well, pick up the heap on the left...
And deal three cards into the center heap.
Now lay down the heap on the left and pick up the heap on the right.
Deal three cards from the right heap into the center.
And now count the cards in the heap you're holding.
Remember how many you have, but don't tell me.
Lay down the heap, Rhoda, and pick up the center heap.
And you remember the number you just counted?
Yeah, I remember it.
Well, deal that many cards from the center into the left.
And hang on to that center heap, Rhoda, because I'm going to tell you just how many cards you have.
Hang on, Rhoda, to your nine cards.
