How I got the numbers in the Theory section:

minimum of 42: everyone misses by exactly one up to the last three cards, which are an Ace, a Two, and a Three.

273 ounces to one player: everyone guesses right. (1+2+3+...+13)*4 = 273

maximum of 363: everyone guess King ("lower") and then Queen for ranks One through five, gets all the rest right. (11+10+9+8+7+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13) * 3 = 363. Technically, it makes more sense for Queen ("lower"), then Jack, since Queen would get you a guaranteed King anyway, but this is assuming people with either very poor strategy, or people who really think it's King and want to guess it right away for some reason.
