There are 52 factorial ways to order a 52-card deck, a 68-digit number. Even if every person on Earth had shuffled a deck once per second since the Big Bang, they would have covered only a vanishingly tiny fraction of the possibilities. So when you shuffle thoroughly, you almost certainly create an order no one has ever held before.
How many different structures can you build with six classic 2-by-4 Lego bricks of the same colour? The company used to quote just over 102 million. In 2005, Danish mathematician Søren Eilers recounted everything by computer: 915,103,765 combinations. The official estimate had been too low by a factor of about nine.
Fold an A4 sheet in half and you get an A5 with the same proportions. That only works for one ratio between length and width: about 1.414, the square root of 2. The A0 format measures exactly one square metre, and A4 is a sixteenth of it. With standard 80-gram-per-square-metre paper, an A4 sheet therefore weighs exactly 5 grams.
