 The mathematics of this research problem long ago overshadowed its practicality. If you want to determine who goes first in a game, just roll dice... standard dice.

Or, get all of the spades from a deck of cards and have each player draw one randomly... that'll suffice for up to 13 players. The mathematics of this research problem long ago overshadowed its practicality.
