Card Matching game

[Tommuli]

The AI you play the Card Matching game against cheats. I know this because I cheat too. I have printed the cards out and am using them to remove the memory aspect from the game and I still win only 60% of the games.

Way too often, the AI picks a random card, and knows where the pair is, even if it hasn't ever been revealed. A few times, it's just a coincidence, 40 times is not.

For example:
I have revealed 2 cards Eel and Seahorse, the AI picks one of the Eel I have just uncovered and just picks a card that "happens" to be an Eel too.

The following is a visualization to better explain it.
E is for ell and S is for Seahorse.
E S # # # #
# # # # # #
# # # E # #
I had revealed the top left two card.

This exact same scenario has occurred twice.

Perhaps it knows you are cheating.

That's a valid point, but how could it differentiate a person with great memory from a cheater?

Try 50 instead of 100 coins, then it'll cheat less.

At 100 coins it cheats. It will get 5 matches in 5 moves blind matching the first 2 pairs at least.
