I don't know if it is intentional or not, but it is possible to get a very
weekly shuffled hand at will by hitting reset, then the joystick button
immediately.  The first hand I played with that technique I got 105 (it
still is a little shuffled) with two straight flushes and a bunch of other
stuff.  Also, when the tens place in the score is zero, it is not
displayed even when it is significant.  It does display a zero in the ones
place if thats what you get.  Took me four tries to get an actual zero :-)
My best score with a normal shuffle is 91.
