The Uniqueness of a Shuffle

Every time you shuffle a deck of cards…<break time="0.2s" /> you probably create an order that has never existed before.<break time="0.2s" />

There are 52 cards in a deck.<break time="0.2s" /> That means 52 factorial possible orders.<break time="0.2s" /> That’s an unfathomably

large number.<break time="0.2s" /> Bigger than all the seconds… since the universe began.<break time="0.2s" /> So this shuffle…<break time="0.2s" />

might be the first time ever this exact order has existed.
