[b]p3.[/b] A dealer has a deck of $1999$ cards. He takes the top card off and “ducks” it, that is, places it on the bottom of the deck. He deals the second card onto the table. He ducks the third card, deals the fourth card, ducks the fifth card, deals the sixth card, and so forth, continuing until he has only one card left; he then ducks the last card with itself and deals it. Some of the cards (like the second and fourth cards) are not ducked at all before being dealt, while others are ducked multiple times. The question is: what is the average number of ducks per card?
