Figure 2 illustrates this loss of information for a card initially known to located in the middle of the deck, position 50, after shuffling with a side shuffle the indicate number of times.

After the first shuffle, the PMF contains two peaks corresponding to the top and bottom of the deck in accordance with whether the deck was cut just before or just after the 50th card before beginning the side shuffle, respectively.

Note: in frequency trail plots, each curve is offset by a set amount to give an impression of the progression (or in this case regression) of a distribution with respect to some dependent variable. This means that the absolute "y"-values for two curves with different shading ought not be compared.

Figures 3 through 6 show much the same trend, with a marked decay in information on the whereabouts of the initial card.
