Solving Seven and a half
Seven and a half is a card game that’s something like 2/3rds blackjack and 1/3 poker. It’s known as setto e mezzo in Italy or Siete y Media in Spain (that literally just means 7.5 in Italian/Spanish, but the point being it is popular in these other countries) and is played with a deck of 40 cards (standard deck of cards, minus the 8s, 9s, and 10s). This is an attempt to solve the game via a Monte Carlo simulation in Python.
