You can sort a deck of cards by shuffling it if you have enough time.


However, if you move randomly around a discrete 3D space, you only have a ~34% of returning to your starting point, even if you keep moving forever. The more dimensions, the lower the chances that infinite randomness reaches any given point.


Your not trying to sort though. You are trying to optimise.


For how long?


Until IPO or acquihire
