Things you didn't know and probably don't care about

If you throw a pack of playing cards in the air and pick them up, it's is vanishingly unlikely they've ever been picked up in that order before, or indeed will be afterwards.

just a 1:8e67 chance.
I am impressed you know hexadecimal.

Sorry, I miss posted. I thought I was replying to your original post about throwing the playing cards up in the air.
That will teach me to check if there are any further posts before replying. LOL

It's ok, right well I'll let you play around with a calculator, but if you chuck a pack of playing cards up in the air and pick them up, even if you could do it every microsecond (very, very unlikely) it would take well beyond the predicted end of the universe to pick them up in the same order again.
