♠️ A standard deck of 52 cards can be arranged in more ways than there have been seconds since the Big Bang, grains of sand on Earth, and stars in our galaxy combined! 🪐
This means that after shuffling a deck of 52 cards, there is a very high chance that you end up with a unique order of cards - a deck that no one in the history of the world has ever produced!
The math behind it is fairly simple:
That's a very big number! Even if every human who ever lived (roughly 117 billion people) shuffled a deck every second of their lives, they'd only cover 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000034% of possibilities.
If every star in the observable universe (10^24 stars) performed a billion shuffles per second, it would take millions of years to go through them all.
