EVERY SHUFFLE YOU MADE IS A COSMIC FIRST 🃏
Today I learnt that if you shuffle a deck of 52 cards, the order you get has almost certainly never existed before in the history of the universe!
Here’s the deeper breakdown:
A standard deck has 52 cards.
The number of possible arrangements (permutations) is 52! (52 factorial), which means multiplying every number from 52 down to 1.
That equals -
80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000.
A number so huge it’s greater than the atoms on Earth. The chances of two people ever shuffling the exact same order are practically zero. 🤯
