From the Mind-Blown department of the Universe…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In a deck of 52 playing cards, the total number of possible shuffles is Astronomical:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
** If a trillion people each shuffled a deck of cards a trillion times per second…
** And they each did this for a trillion years…
** And it occurred in a trillion civilizations across our universe….
** And that played out in a trillion universes across the multiverse…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On your next shuffle, only then is there a nearly even chance your deck will match any previously shuffled deck.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which means any time you fully shuffle a deck of cards, it’s not likely to match any deck that has ever been shuffled before.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just Sayin'.

Good One!
