The question that everyone has been dying to know has been answered. Finally! What will scientists study next?
There are 8.0658*10^67 orders you can shuffle a card deck in.
The math is easy. It’s just 52! if your calculator has that function which is really 525150…32*1. There are 52 possibilities for the first card 51 for the second since you’ve already used one card and so on.
How many decks of cards have been shuffled over human history, or will be is beyond me.

Yeah that’s the part that isn’t easy.
For those who are confused, the comment meant to say
52*51*50*....*3*2*1i.e. 52 × 51 × 50 × … × 3 × 2 × 1
Markdown syntax screwed it up.
Oh I didn’t notice it did that. thanks for fixing it.
