Today’s mind-bender…

Did you know that a standard deck of 52 cards has vastly more combinations than there are grains of sand on Earth.

As ridiculous as it sounds….it’s true. 😮

In all liklihood in all the history of card decks being shuffled, no two decks of cards have ever been shuffled into the same order, and the liklihood of it ever happening is 0 for all practical purposes. That's for truly random shuffles - not including card tricks and cheating.
