Why Shuffling a Deck of Cards is Interesting Mathematically.
Here we count how many ways one can produce a uniquely shuffled deck of 52 playing cards by using permutations.
We then compare that number to the number of atoms on earth and talk about the liklihood of anyone else EVER having that particular shuffled deck.
I think it is NEAT-O and I don't care what anyone else says, unless you think it is NEAT-O too. Then I care.
