   public void shuffle()
   {
      // randomly choose position among 0 to 51  to swap with position 0
      // randomly choose position among 1 to 51  to swap with position 1
      // ...
      // randomly choose position among k to 51  to swap with position k
      // ...
      // randomly choose position among 50 to 51 to swap with position 50
      
      Random rand = new Random();
      initialize();
      for (int k = 0; k
