Minimum Card Algorithm

• How do you know when to stop?
• We have an end statement where if you get the lowest card possible or have gone through the entire set you stop.
• Do your instructions state where and how to start?
• Yes, it says to put down cards and start with two new cards. 
• Is it clear where to put cards back down after you’ve picked them up?
• Yes, put them back in the same position and take a new card. 
• As we look at these algorithms you came up with, we can see they are not all the same. However, there are common things that you are all making the human machine do and commonalities in some of your instructions. Can we define a language of common Human Machine commands for moving cards around? What are the commands or actions most of these instructions have in common?
• Yes, most of them say to start in a certain place after putting the cards in a line. All of them should define the face cards and the Ace. Pick up, put down, move left, move right, move up, move down, flip over.
