Card text
Instant
Look at the top four cards of your library and separate them into a face-down pile and a face-up pile. An opponent chooses one of the piles. Put that pile into your hand and the other into your graveyard.

Rulings (2)
You may split the cards into one pile of four and one pile of zero. The pile of four cards could be the face-up pile or the face-down pile. Which pile to choose won't be much of riddle for your opponent if you do that!
You don't have to reveal the cards in the face-down pile if you put it into your hand.
