What is the probability of drawing a red card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards?
because half of the cards in a deck are red, the probability of drawing a red one is 26/52 or 50%

bcos there is half red and half black cards...
Reply:26/52
Reply:in probability you take the amount that is possible divided by the total; since half the cards in a deck are red, half of 52 is 26, and the total number of cards in a deck is 52, so the answer is 26/52
Reply:1/2, or .5
There is an equal amount of red cards and black cards in the deck, so the probability of drawing a red card is 26/52 = 1/2.
Hope this helped!

When were the first playing cards invented?
http://www.quintogame.com/history_cards....
It is not clear where cards were first invented, but evidence suggests that cards were most likely invented in China, where paper was invented. The documented history of playing cards began in the Tenth Century, when the Chinese began using paper dominoes by shuffling and dealing them in new games. In Europe, the earliest authentic references to playing cards date from 1377. In those days, cards were hand-painted and only the very wealthy could afford them. Cards entered Europe from the Islamic empire, where cups and swords were added as suit symbols as well as court cards. These symbols were replaced in Europe by representations of courtly human beings: kings, knights, and footservants. To this day, packs of playing cards from Italy do not have queens, nor do packs from Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and others. The cards we use today are derived from the French, who gave us the suits of spades, clubs, diamonds, and hearts and the use of simple shapes and flat colors.

The exact origin of playing cards is subject to a great deal of speculation and misinformation. There are many divided opinions, theories, and contradictions in the historical research of playing cards. However, playing cards are most certainly not an invention of one person, but rather the result of a gradual development of games being played in may different countries throughout centuries. Another unquestionable fact is the claim that the first playing cards were hand-painted and that only the very wealthy could afford them; but with the invention of woodcuts in the 14th century, Europeans began mass-production and playing cards quickly found their way into households.
9th century
Most historians believe that the earliest playing cards have originated in (or before) the 9th century in Central Asia, probably China and Hindustan. China seems to be a good candidate for the origin of playing cards because it is the land where paper was invented (China has been making paper since A.D. 100; paper came to Europe only around A.D. 1000). However, for many years China was rejected as the origin of playing-cards because traditional Chinese playing cards are so unlike Western ones.
10th century
The documented history of card playing began in the 10th century, when the Chinese began using paper dominoes in an effort to develop new games. On New Year's Eve, 969, the Emperor Mu-tsung is reported to have played domino cards with his wife. Unlike the Western versions of Dominos, Chinese Dominos were not used in positional games, hence they were played much like cards.
In addition to domino cards, the Chinese have also used money cards, although which one of the two came first is not exactly clear. These money cards were in effect suited cards, and the earliest Chinese suits were those of coins and strings of coins. There is also some speculation to the effect that Chinese gamblers used to use actual paper money as cards and that they played with and for the money.
Even to this day some of the packs used in China have suits of coins and strings of coins - which Mah Jong players know as circles and bamboos (i.e. sticks).
13th century
How exactly playing cards found their way into Europe is unknown. One myth states that they were brought into Europe from India by fortune-telling gypsies, who made their way into Italy through Persia, and Arabia, and Egypt. However, this claim is contradicted by the fact that cards were present in Europe four decades before the first documented mention of gypsies. Furthermore, there is yet another theory in direct contradiction that favors the idea that cards were brought into India from Europe by gypsies.
Historians favor the theory that cards entered Europe from the Islamic empire, where cups and swords were added as suit symbols to the already existing coins and sticks. Another Islamic addition to the deck are non-figurative court cards. Unlike the cards we know today, those court cards were not represented pictorially because Islam strictly prohibits man to reproduce the image of living creatures; according to the Kuran this privilege is only reserved for God. However, these court cards bare written lower inscriptions.
According to some sources, cards first appeared in Italy by the late 1200s and then subsequently spread throughout the rest of Europe. The same source dates the first recorded evidence of the use of playing cards in Italy in 1299, but does not substantiate this claim by any historic evidence.
1371
According to Luis Monreal, in his article Iconographia de la Baraja Espanola (Journal of the International Playing Card Society, February 1989), as well as according to Michael Dummett, the first known mention of playing cards in Europe occurred in Spain in 1371; in a Catalan document where they were mentioned as naip. The current Spanish spelling is naipes.
If cards were introduced to Europe prior to the 1370's, there are a number of places where we would expect to find some mention of them. Despite their strong interests in games; Petrarch (1307-74), Boccaccio (1313-75), and Chaucer (1343-1400) do not mention playing cards in their works. Guillaume de Machau's address to Charles V in 1364, which denounced gaming in general, and dice in particular, has no mention of playing cards. There are also ordinances controlling gaming from Paris (1369) and St. Gallen (1364) which don't mention playing cards.
1376
In Italy, a Florentine city ordinance forbidding a newly introduced card game called naibbe is dated May 23, 1376.
1377
By 1377 cards are described in detail in Switzerland by a monk in Basle named Johannes von Rheinfelden, "Thus it is that a certain game, called the game of cards, has reached us in the present year, namely A.D. 1377". His text describes a deck with 52 cards, 10 number cards (from 1 to 10), and 3 court cards (a King, and two Marshals), divided into 4 suits of 13 cards. There are further descriptions in the same manuscript, but these are believed to have been added around 1429. These describe 52-card decks with Queens instead of Kings, and 56-card deck with Queens added to the existing 3 court cards. The suits are not described except as "some of these signs being considered good but others signifying evil".
c. 1380s
By 1380 playing cards are reported in such diverse places as Florence, Regensburg, Brabant, Paris, and Barcelona.
The city of Florence passed statute on Gambling in March 23, 1376 (1377 by current calendar), on a vote of 98 to 25 regulating the playing of "A certain game called naibbe, [which] has recently been introduced into these parts".
On July 23, 1378, a German ordinance in Regensburg declares various gambling games, including "spilen mit der quarten", punishable by a fine if played for stakes higher than permitted.
1440
The first known Tarot deck appeared in Italy. This historical fact contradicts one of the popular beliefs that the Tarot deck preceded the now more common 52-card deck. The Tarot deck was in fact devised by expanding a regular deck from from 52 to 78 cards, by adding 4 additional court cards and 22 attuti (or trionfi) cards (permanent trump cards). In effect the Tarot deck consists of 22 major arcana cards, and 56 minor arcana cards. The minor arcana cards consist of 4 suits of 14 cards.
Another common misinformation surrounding the Tarot deck is that it evolved from the fortune-telling Tarot cards; this is not true, fortune-telling Tarot cards did not appear until the 18th century.
1461
Although England probably knew of cards much earlier, solid references to playing cards in England don't occur until the mid 15th century. Edward IV's first parliament (Nov. 1461- May 1462) prohibits card playing (and dicing) except for the 12 days of Christmas. The earliest known English card games date around 1520, and the earliest surviving English deck (French suited) dates around 1590.
1475
Throughout the years there was much experimentation with the composition of cards, suit symbols, and number of suits. National standards started to appear by the late 15th century. The traditional Swiss (Shields, Flowers, Bells, and Acorns) and German (Hearts, Leaves, Bells, Acorns) suits appear in complete packs around 1475 (individually from 1450). However, experimentations with a variety of other suit symbols, including wine pots, drinking cups, books, printers' pads, and animal suits, continued well into the 16th century and beyond.
c. 1480
France's national suits (Spades, Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds) first appeared around 1480. The early English decks were probably Latin suited, but most surviving decks (c. 1590) are French suited.
1628
On October 22nd 1628 Charles I granted the charter to the Company of the Mistery of Makers of Playing Cards of the City of London, and from December 1st 1628 all future importation of playing cards was forbidden. In return, a duty on playing-cards was demanded.
1685
In 1685 playing cards became the first paper currency of Canada when the French governor, Jaques de Meulles, paid off some war debts with them.
1731
The first known Swedish-produced cards date back to 1731. It is believed that cards were introduced to Sweden relatively late, probably in the 17th century, and they probably came from France and Belgium.
1742
The first accurate compendiums of rules of card games were those of English writer Edmond Hoyle, in his treatise on whist in 1742. Today the phrase "According to Hoyle" means to "play by the rules".
c. 1750
The earliest known use of Tarot packs for fortune-telling was in Bologna, around 1750. Furthermore, the use of ordinary packs of playing-cards for fortune-telling does not date from much earlier than this.
1760s
Historians believe that cartomancy, fortune-telling with cards, became common after the 1760's with the development of solitaire. It should be noted that fortune-telling is not necessarily connected to the use of Tarot cards for these occult purposes, in fact fortune-tellers used, and continue to use, a variety of different cards for these readings.
1824
The Austrian card maker Piatnik was founded in 1824 and began production of playing cards. To this day Piatnik is one of the strongest manufacturers of playing cards in Europe.
1827
By 1827 double-headed court cards were in use in France. Britain did not adopt the practice until the 1850s; America did not follow suit until the 1870s.
1848
Baptiste Paul Grimaud set up a playing card factory in France.
1850s
In England and America backs of playing cards were plain until the 1850s, when the English artist Owen Jones (artist for Thomas de la Rue, London card makers) began designing cards with ornate backs. However, in other countries patterned backs have been in use for far longer.
c. 1857
The first Joker was added to the 52-card deck around the 1860s. Some claim that it was not until 1863, or even 1865. However, it is believed that the Joker was added to the pack by American Euchre players who, when modifying Euchre rules sometime during that era, decided that an extra trump card was required. The Joker was first called the Best Bower. In the game of Euchre two of the Jacks are named Right and Left Bower; this happened during the 1860s in the USA. Bower is a corruption of the German word Bauer used in Alsace, from where Euchre or Juker originated as the ordinary word for Jack. This card evolved into the Joker during the 1870s. The Joker arrived in Europe in the 1880s along with the game of Poker. It was gradually incorporated into French-suited packs with 52 cards.
c. 1870
Corner indices are an American addition dating from shortly before 1870. Most European countries copied the idea during the 1890s, though Austria, Spain and Italy have been resistant. The first American indexed cards were called Sqeezers because the players were able to hold them in fan position and read the indices.
c. 1875
Rounded corners were not known before c.1875, However, it should be noted that oval and round cards were in use in some regions far before the 19th century.
1881
On June 28, 1881 the Russell, Morgan %26amp; Co., which later became the US Playing Card Co., printed their first deck of cards. About 20 employees started to manufacture 1600 packs per day, and in 1894 the playing card business had grown to such proportions that it was separated from the printing company, becoming the USPC. The USPC eventually became the biggest playing card manufacturer in the US.
Card games became a common recreation amongst all classes of people. Today's most commonly used cards were derived from French designs and are known as French-suited cards. Other cards that evolved in Europe and are still in use today are German-suited cards, Italian-suited cards, Swiss-suited cards and Spanish-suited cards. However, other standards were also known to exist, and some games were known to use cards with as much as ten suits.
____________________
When were the first playing cards invented?
Probably China. There is speculation that they developed from chess (hence the face cards are kings, queens, etc.), especially since one variation of the Indian game Chaturanga (which is the ancestor of chess) was played by four, with four different armies (hence, four suits). The Chinese play chess with round discs, and supposedly they became cards by the Chinese picking them up and holding them to play games.

Reply::: Playing Card ::
A playing card is a typically hand-sized piece of heavy paper or thin plastic. A complete set of cards is a pack or deck. A deck of cards is used for playing one of many card games, some of which include gambling. Because they are both standard and commonly available, playing cards are often adapted for other uses, such as magic tricks, cartomancy, or building a house of cards.
The front (or "face") of each card carries markings that distinguish it from the other cards and determine its use under the rules of the game being played. The back of each card is identical for all cards, usually a plain color or abstract design. In most games, the cards are assembled into a deck, and their order is randomized by shuffling to provide an element of chance in the game.
:: Early History ::
The origin of playing cards is obscure, but it is almost certain that they began in China after the invention of paper. Ancient Chinese "money cards" have four "suits": coins (or cash), strings of coins (which may have been misinterpreted as sticks from crude drawings), myriads of strings, and tens of myriads. These were represented by ideograms, with numerals of 2–9 in the first three suits and numerals 1–9 in the "tens of myriads". Wilkinson suggests in The Chinese origin of playing cards that the first cards may have been actual paper currency which were both the tools of gaming and the stakes being played for. The designs on modern Mahjong tiles likely evolved from those earliest playing cards. However it may be that the first deck of cards ever printed was a Chinese domino deck, in whose cards we can see all the 21 combinations of a pair of dice. In Kuei-t'ien-lu, a chinese text redacted in the 11th century, we found that dominoes cards were printed during the T’ang dynasty, contemporarily to the first books. The Chinese word pái (牌) is used to describe both paper cards and gaming tiles. An Indian origin for playing cards has been suggested by the resemblance of symbols on some early European decks (traditional Sicilian cards, for example) to the ring, sword, cup, and baton classically depicted in the four hands of Indian statues. This is an area that still needs research. The time and manner of the introduction of cards into Europe are matters of dispute. The 38th canon of the council of Worcester (1240) is often quoted as evidence of cards having been known in England in the middle of the 13th century; but the games de rege et regina there mentioned are now thought to more likely have been chess. If cards were generally known in Europe as early as 1278, it is very remarkable that Petrarch, in his work De remediis utriusque fortunae that treats gaming, never once mentions them. Boccaccio, Chaucer and other writers of that time specifically refer to various games, but there is not a single passage in their works that can be fairly construed to refer to cards. Passages have been quoted from various works, of or relative to this period, but modern research leads to the supposition that the word rendered cards has often been mistranslated or interpolated.
It is likely that the ancestors of modern cards arrived in Europe from the Mamelukes of Egypt in the late 1300s, by which time they had already assumed a form very close to those in use today. In particular, the Mameluke deck contained 52 cards comprising four "suits": polo sticks, coins, swords, and cups. Each suit contained ten "spot" cards (cards identified by the number of suit symbols or "pips" they show) and three "court" cards named malik (King), nā'ib malik (Viceroy or Deputy King), and thānī nā'ib (Second or Under-Deputy). The Mameluke court cards showed abstract designs not depicting persons (at least not in any surviving specimens) though they did bear the names of military officers. A complete pack of Mameluke playing cards was discovered by L.A. Mayer in the Topkapi Sarayi Museum, Istanbul, in 1939 [1]; this particular complete pack was not made before 1400, but the complete deck allowed matching to a private fragment dated to the twelfth or thirteenth century. In effect it’s not a complete deck, but there are cards of three different packs of the same stile (International Playing Cards Society Journal 30-3 page 139) There is some evidence to suggest that this deck may have evolved from an earlier 48-card deck that had only two court cards per suit, and some further evidence to suggest that earlier Chinese cards brought to Europe may have travelled to Persia, which then influenced the Mameluke and other Egyptian cards of the time before their reappearance in Europe.
It is not known whether these cards influenced the design of the Indian cards used for the game of Ganjifa, or whether the Indian cards may have influenced these. Regardless, the Indian cards have many distinctive features: they are round, generally hand painted with intricate designs, and comprise more than four suits (often as many as thirty two, like a deck in the Deutsches Spielkarten-Museum, painted in the Mewar, a city in Rajasthan, between the 18th and 19th century. Decks used to play have from eight up to twenty different suits).
In Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and other ex-Soviet countries, often 36 card Anglo-American card decks are used, with cards 2 to 5 left out, making 6 the lowest value.

Reply:a really long time ago!
Reply:It seems like the earliest cards were in ancient China, while the modern 52 card deck was in part from the Marmelukes of Egypt in the early 14th century.
It is not clear where cards were first invented, but evidence suggests that cards were most likely invented in China, where paper was invented. The documented history of playing cards began in the Tenth Century, when the Chinese began using paper dominoes by shuffling and dealing them in new games.

Cards entered Europe from the Islamic empire, where cups and swords were added as suit symbols as well as court cards. These symbols were replaced in Europe by representations of courtly human beings: kings, knights, and footservants. To this day, packs of playing cards from Italy do not have queens, nor do packs from Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and others. The cards we use today are derived from the French, who gave us the suits of spades, clubs, diamonds, and hearts and the use of simple shapes and flat colors.

The earliest known use of Tarot packs for fortune-telling was in Bologna, around 1750. Furthermore, the use of ordinary packs of playing-cards for fortune-telling does not date from much earlier than this.
1760s
Historians believe that cartomancy, fortune-telling with cards, became common after the 1760's with the development of solitaire. It should be noted that fortune-telling is not necessarily connected to the use of Tarot cards for these occult purposes, in fact fortune-tellers used, and continue to use, a variety of different cards for these readings.
1824
The Austrian card maker Piatnik was founded in 1824 and began production of playing cards. To this day Piatnik is one of the strongest manufacturers of playing cards in Europe.
1827
By 1827 double-headed court cards were in use in France. Britain did not adopt the practice until the 1850s; America did not follow suit until the 1870s.
1848
Baptiste Paul Grimaud set up a playing card factory in France.
1850s
In England and America backs of playing cards were plain until the 1850s, when the English artist Owen Jones (artist for Thomas de la Rue, London card makers) began designing cards with ornate backs. However, in other countries patterned backs have been in use for far longer.
c. 1857
The first Joker was added to the 52-card deck around the 1860s. Some claim that it was not until 1863, or even 1865. However, it is believed that the Joker was added to the pack by American Euchre players who, when modifying Euchre rules sometime during that era, decided that an extra trump card was required. The Joker was first called the Best Bower. In the game of Euchre two of the Jacks are named Right and Left Bower; this happened during the 1860s in the USA. Bower is a corruption of the German word Bauer used in Alsace, from where Euchre or Juker originated as the ordinary word for Jack. This card evolved into the Joker during the 1870s. The Joker arrived in Europe in the 1880s along with the game of Poker. It was gradually incorporated into French-suited packs with 52 cards.
c. 1870
Corner indices are an American addition dating from shortly before 1870. Most European countries copied the idea during the 1890s, though Austria, Spain and Italy have been resistant. The first American indexed cards were called Sqeezers because the players were able to hold them in fan position and read the indices.
c. 1875
Rounded corners were not known before c.1875, However, it should be noted that oval and round cards were in use in some regions far before the 19th century.
1881
On June 28, 1881 the Russell, Morgan %26amp; Co., which later became the US Playing Card Co., printed their first deck of cards. About 20 employees started to manufacture 1600 packs per day, and in 1894 the playing card business had grown to such proportions that it was separated from the printing company, becoming the USPC. The USPC eventually became the biggest playing card manufacturer in the US.
Card games became a common recreation amongst all classes of people. Today's most commonly used cards were derived from French designs and are known as French-suited cards. Other cards that evolved in Europe and are still in use today are German-suited cards, Italian-suited cards, Swiss-suited cards and Spanish-suited cards. However, other standards were also known to exist, and some games were known to use cards with as much as ten suits.

When were the first playing cards invented?
Probably China. There is speculation that they developed from chess (hence the face cards are kings, queens, etc.), especially since one variation of the Indian game Chaturanga (which is the ancestor of chess) was played by four, with four different armies (hence, four suits). The Chinese play chess with round discs, and supposedly they became cards by the Chinese picking them up and holding them to play games.

they were developed from the tarot and that is really old.Check on the age of the tarot and then you will know.
Reply::: Playing Card ::
A playing card is a typically hand-sized piece of heavy paper or thin plastic. A complete set of cards is a pack or deck. A deck of cards is used for playing one of many card games, some of which include gambling. Because they are both standard and commonly available, playing cards are often adapted for other uses, such as magic tricks, cartomancy, or building a house of cards.
The front (or "face") of each card carries markings that distinguish it from the other cards and determine its use under the rules of the game being played. The back of each card is identical for all cards, usually a plain color or abstract design. In most games, the cards are assembled into a deck, and their order is randomized by shuffling to provide an element of chance in the game.
:: Early History ::
The origin of playing cards is obscure, but it is almost certain that they began in China after the invention of paper. Ancient Chinese "money cards" have four "suits": coins (or cash), strings of coins (which may have been misinterpreted as sticks from crude drawings), myriads of strings, and tens of myriads. These were represented by ideograms, with numerals of 2–9 in the first three suits and numerals 1–9 in the "tens of myriads". Wilkinson suggests in The Chinese origin of playing cards that the first cards may have been actual paper currency which were both the tools of gaming and the stakes being played for. The designs on modern Mahjong tiles likely evolved from those earliest playing cards. However it may be that the first deck of cards ever printed was a Chinese domino deck, in whose cards we can see all the 21 combinations of a pair of dice. In Kuei-t'ien-lu, a chinese text redacted in the 11th century, we found that dominoes cards were printed during the T’ang dynasty, contemporarily to the first books. The Chinese word pái (牌) is used to describe both paper cards and gaming tiles. An Indian origin for playing cards has been suggested by the resemblance of symbols on some early European decks (traditional Sicilian cards, for example) to the ring, sword, cup, and baton classically depicted in the four hands of Indian statues. This is an area that still needs research. The time and manner of the introduction of cards into Europe are matters of dispute. The 38th canon of the council of Worcester (1240) is often quoted as evidence of cards having been known in England in the middle of the 13th century; but the games de rege et regina there mentioned are now thought to more likely have been chess. If cards were generally known in Europe as early as 1278, it is very remarkable that Petrarch, in his work De remediis utriusque fortunae that treats gaming, never once mentions them. Boccaccio, Chaucer and other writers of that time specifically refer to various games, but there is not a single passage in their works that can be fairly construed to refer to cards. Passages have been quoted from various works, of or relative to this period, but modern research leads to the supposition that the word rendered cards has often been mistranslated or interpolated.
It is likely that the ancestors of modern cards arrived in Europe from the Mamelukes of Egypt in the late 1300s, by which time they had already assumed a form very close to those in use today. In particular, the Mameluke deck contained 52 cards comprising four "suits": polo sticks, coins, swords, and cups. Each suit contained ten "spot" cards (cards identified by the number of suit symbols or "pips" they show) and three "court" cards named malik (King), nā'ib malik (Viceroy or Deputy King), and thānī nā'ib (Second or Under-Deputy). The Mameluke court cards showed abstract designs not depicting persons (at least not in any surviving specimens) though they did bear the names of military officers. A complete pack of Mameluke playing cards was discovered by L.A. Mayer in the Topkapi Sarayi Museum, Istanbul, in 1939 [1]; this particular complete pack was not made before 1400, but the complete deck allowed matching to a private fragment dated to the twelfth or thirteenth century. In effect it’s not a complete deck, but there are cards of three different packs of the same stile (International Playing Cards Society Journal 30-3 page 139) There is some evidence to suggest that this deck may have evolved from an earlier 48-card deck that had only two court cards per suit, and some further evidence to suggest that earlier Chinese cards brought to Europe may have travelled to Persia, which then influenced the Mameluke and other Egyptian cards of the time before their reappearance in Europe.
It is not known whether these cards influenced the design of the Indian cards used for the game of Ganjifa, or whether the Indian cards may have influenced these. Regardless, the Indian cards have many distinctive features: they are round, generally hand painted with intricate designs, and comprise more than four suits (often as many as thirty two, like a deck in the Deutsches Spielkarten-Museum, painted in the Mewar, a city in Rajasthan, between the 18th and 19th century. Decks used to play have from eight up to twenty different suits).
In Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and other ex-Soviet countries, often 36 card Anglo-American card decks are used, with cards 2 to 5 left out, making 6 the lowest value.

Are there anymore playing cards to capture or kill or was that the whole deck?
The deck of cards drove foreign policy; I was just wondering if we were through.
Are there anymore playing cards to capture or kill or was that the whole deck?
Even if the Bush administration was done, they'd likely shuffle them, and deal another hand, with different faces.
I'd be willing to bet (pun intended) that a lower card, such as someone who was a 6 or 7, might have escaped notice.
Was Osama in that deck? I keep thinking he was NOT part of that internal designation.
Reply:Nope, there's always more. Bin Laden is one but who is the next. It is sad that we have to constantly look over our shoulder because we can't trust anyone, political leaders or the guy behind you walking down the street.

What is the probability of drawing 4 sevens in succession from 52 playing cards given cards are not replaced?
How many 7s are there total? 4
So 4/52 of the cards are 7s.
Probability of getting a 7 first is 4/52
second time is 3/51
third time is 2/50
fourth time is 1/49
(4/52) * (3/51) * (2/50) * (1/49)
Multiply them together to get: 3.69378521 × 10^-6

Is the expression "call a spade a spade" a racist comment, or referring to playing cards?
I used to use the phrase "just call a spade a spade" which means just say what it is and stop beating around the bush. I want to know what this means, and where it comes from. Someone told me that the term "spade" is also a racist comment for a black person. I didn't know that, and I don't mean to be racist at all, farthest thing from it. Is the phrase referring to this racial term, or like a spade that's a suite of cards?
Is the expression "call a spade a spade" a racist comment, or referring to playing cards?
I have heard the term "spade" used racially, but never heard "call a spade a spade" in a racial context. I think the latter is one of those phrases that if someone is overly sensitive %26amp; looking to hear the wrong thing they will.
A good example of that is the phrase "The Pot Calling The Kettle Black" which is to say something about someone else which is actually true of you yourself. Which I am going to assume comes from when cooking was done over fire buring coal or wood which covered everything with soot. Ergo it doesn't matter what you are, if your guilty of it, your guilty. Rather like a lazy person complaining about another persons lazyness.
So my answer is yes, both are used and only one is not racially motivated. As for the meaning and where they come from, I think the first poster got that down.
Reply:It has no racial connotation and neither does the quotation cited earlier. There is nothing racist about the word "niggard", it is just close in sound to a racially offensive word. "Spade" as a racially offensive term is 20th century, not earlier, and developed first in the USA between the two world wars.
Reply:To speak plainly - to describe something as it really is.
It might be thought that this derives from the derogatory slang use of the term spade meaning *****, as exemplified in 'as black as the ace of spades'. That view of it as derogatory might also be thought to be supported by this piece from John Trapp's Mellificium theologicum, or the marrow of many good authors, 1647.

The eccentric right-wing British Tory politician Sir Gerald Nabarro was fond of emphasizing his direct 'man of the people' image by saying 'I call a spade a shovel'. In fact, despite being from an immigrant family himself, Nabarro loudly supported the repatriation of Caribbean immigrants to the UK. How he referred in private to the people who would have undoubtedly have been called 'spades' in Nabarro's social circle isn't recorded.

Where can I find someone who can explain the amazing things I can do with playing cards? NOT tricks. Seriously
I can, apart from being able to read cards for people, shuffle a pack of cards and state, in advance, that I will shuffle the card into the 21st position. This happens regularly though sometimes it seems to play with me and ends up in the 21st position but from the end of the pack rather than the start, Often this particukar card leaps out of the pack when shuffling and I have even been to a strangers house, seen a pack of cards and "known" that the jack of diamonds would be the 21st card. This sort of thing happens regularly and I would like to talk to someone who can explain what's going on and WHY.

Where I used to work, we used to get together and have pots as high as $180 in a group of 9 people paying $20 to play in our little tournaments. We would usually pay out first and second place, but it was just the guys from work sitting around playing texas holdem.
If you know any of the other cards in the deck, or in peoples hands it can give you a huge advantage, seriously, you would be surprised. All you gotta do is study the game, and get some guys together to play.
Reply:Wow that is amazing! Perhaps you should take your show on the road. I'm sure you could make a very good living going from place to place, telling people what the 21st card in their deck is. Does that also work with tarot cards, or just regular playing cards? What about Uno cards, does it work with them? I hope you use your power for good and not for evil.
Reply:You are lying, otherwise you would be very rich, and very famous, or you would at least post some proof for such an unbelievable claim.
In a deck of playing cards why?
1) do the Jacks have 2 with one eye?
2) do 3 Kings and 3 Queens face one way and 1 the other?
3) do the Kings have 1 with one eye?
4) do their faces look like drawings of real former Kings and Queens and Princes?

Actually, cards as we know them came from Tarot Cards which became illegal due to religous persecution in the inquisition. So they changed the shape and pictures on the cards and knocked out the Major Arcana. Playing cards then took off in the courts of Europe, lol, with no one the wiser. Rofl.

How do you use regular playing cards as tarot cards?
I heard that you can, but I don't know how.
How do you use regular playing cards as tarot cards?
You would just put the cards down in similar layouts like tarot cards. If you need help with what tarot spreads look like there are numerous books on the subject. To help translate the cards, the suits correspond as such.
Diamonds are the tarots coins or pentacles
Hearts are cups or chalices
Spades are swords
Clubs are rods
You can have the Jack/Knave of playing cards be either the Knight or Page of a tarot deck.
From personal experience I have found regular playing cards to be harder to read from. They can be a good place to start if you do not want to spend the $20 or more on a tarot deck. I didn't buy my first tarot deck until after I noticed I could read playing cards.
Also you can take a tarot deck and use it as playing cards. It is how I helped myself get a feel for the slightly larger deck and different pictures.

Reply:1. Cut the deck up into three parts. Be sure to make a wish before cutting the third part.
2. Take seven cards from each of the three parts. Make a seperate deck out of the 21 cards you just drew.
3. Deal the cards from the 21-card deck into 7 seperate catagories. The catagories are (in this order):
To yourself
To your family
To your wish
What you expect
What you don't expect
Whats sure to come true
4. When you're finished you should have 4 cards in the first three catagories and 3 in the rest. Flip the cards over one by one and read them for each catagory.

Btw, I've learned that tarot cards are MUCH less accurate than playing cards. Even though playing cards are harder to read, you shouldn't use tarot cards if you want an accurate reading.

Five cards are drawn from an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of getting two pairs?
For example, the hand could be A-A-5-5-Q or 4-4-7-7-K.
The answer in the back of the book is 0.0475.
But, I would like to know HOW you would get that answer.
Five cards are drawn from an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of getting two pairs?
well if the condition is to get ONLY two pairs so
probability is the ratio of successful combs and possible combs...
Successful combs:
groups of numbers 13 x 4 = 52
C(13,2)xC(4,2)xC(4,2)xC(11,1)xC(4,1)
C(13,2) because we don't wanna them repeated
C(4,2) combs of each of C(13,2) combinations
C(11,1) because we don't need of a full house, so this eliminate the possibility.
Possible combs:
C(52,5)
[C(13,2)xC(4,2)xC(4,2)xC(11,1)xC(4,1)]...
(13*12*4*3*4*3*11*4/2*2*2)/(52*51*50*4...
.... too lazy to solve :P but im sure that is the same answer
Reply:52/52 x 3/51 x 50/50 x 3/49 x 48/48 = 1 x 1/17 x 1 x 3/49 x 1 and there you have it, just divide 3 by the denominator.
Reply:Let's calculate the probability of drawing the hand Q-Q-K-K-X, where X is a non-queen, non-king card.
If we draw five cards, the probability of getting exactly two queens is HYPGEOMDIST(2,5,4,52) = 0.0399298. We are requiring getting exactly two queens as our result, so there are now 50 cards left in the deck.
Assuming that two of the cards we've drawn are queens, it is as if we drew two queens, then drew three other cards. The probability of getting exactly two kings when drawing three cards is HYPGEOMDIST(2,3,4,50) = 0.0140816. We are requiring getting exactly two kings as our result, so there are now 48 cards left in the deck.
It is as if we drew two queens, then two kings, then drew one card. We simply require that it is not a king or a queen. There are two kings and two queens left in the deck, so the probability of drawing a non-king, non-queen card is just 44/48 = 0.916667
Multiplying these three probabilities together gives us the probability of drawing five cards and getting exactly two queens, two kings, and one card which isn't a king or a queen. The probability is 0.0399298 * 0.0140816 * 0.916667 = 0.000515421.
Now, that is only one possible pair of pairs. Other possible pairs of pairs would be jacks and tens, aces and sixes, fives and threes, etc. The number of unique pairs of pairs is 1/2*13*12 = 78. Getting any of these pairs of pairs is equally as likely as getting the Q-Q-K-K-X hand, so we multiply our probability by 78:
P = 0.000515421 * 78
P = 0.0402028
I realize this is a different answer than your book gives, but I'll stick by mine until I find a mistake in my reasoning.
Note:
In MS Excel, the formula
HYPGEOMDIST(A,B,C,D)
has four arguments which mean the following:
A = the number of the desired card drawn
B = the number of cards drawn
C = the number of the desired card in the deck
D = the number of cards in the deck
Reply:You are probably studying the combinatorial function right now... First, the number of ways of choosing 5 cards from 52 is C(52,5) and this is your denominator. Your numerator is 13*C(4,2)*12*C(4,2)*C(44,1)*(1/2) which is the number of ways of choosing 2 pair.

What is the probability of drawing a spade or a picture card from a regular deck of playing cards?
25/52
52 cares in a deck
there are 13 spades in a deck thus the probabillity of drawing spades is 13/52
there are 16 face cards in a deck however 4 of those are spades
so that leaves 12/52
making the probabillity of drawing one or the other 25/52
45 pieces of candy
if 1/9 are white 5 are white because 5/45 = 1/9
if 1/5 are red 9 are red because 1/5= 9/45
if 1/3 are green 15 are green because 1/3= 15/45
blue= 16 because blue=45-(9+5+15)
the probabillities listed are reduced form of the exact number of candies of that color over the total number of candy.
colornumber/totalnumber to find the specific number of that ratio just divide by the denominator. and to find the number of blue add the rest and subtract from 45
Reply:There are 13 Spades in the deck: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A

K(hearts)

Along with 3 SPADE FACE CARDS which don't count
That leaves you with 13 spades and 9 face cards
Probability is defined as favorable outcomes over total outcomes. Therefore, your answer is 22/52 which is simplified to 11/27
Number Two:
You need to find a common denominator, in this case, 45 works
For 1/9, you need to multiply it by 5/5 so you get 5/45. There are 5 white pieces
1/5, you need to multiply by 9/9 (1) so you get 9/45
1/3 you need to multiply by 15/15 (1) so you get 15/45

How Much Longer Will Children Of Undocumented Workers Be Used As Playing Cards?
Undocumented workers are making unwanted babies so they can say "Don't deport us. We have children."
A very large problem is the undocumented workers who are making children in the U.S. are not good parents. The parents make around 300,000 children a year (mostly out of wedlock) just so they can use the kids as pawns to help the stop the parent from being deported.
Those parents are also not good people. Good people care about children. Good people would never purposefully be putting kids in a bad situation in the first place. Also, good people would never think it is right to break the Bible's Ten Commandments. And, good people would never try to get pregnant out of wedlock. Furthermore, good people would never try to get pregnant without a way to pay for their children. Because of their lack of money, the parents want the government to pay their hospital bills. The parents also try to collect any government benefits they can get for the child and for themselves.
How Much Longer Will Children Of Undocumented Workers Be Used As Playing Cards?
It really doesn't matter what the 14th Amendment was designed for. It is law.
It needs to be repealed.
Reply:Its a messy situation.
Reply:Deport them and their families and then let them try to come in "The RIGHT WAY"!
Reply:Playing cards? I thought they were being used as ANCHORS???????
Seriously, the 14th amendment absolutely positively needs to be removed since it's purpose has long been fulfilled. If you could go back in time and tell Congress in the late 1800's how illegal aliens have been abusing this law, there is no doubt in my mind the law would be written differently.
Reply:All children born in this country to illegals, need to go back with their parents to the land their parents are from. I do not believe anyone has the right to give birth in a country the parents are not citizens in and then expect a free ride forever because of that child. THAT is child abuse.
Reply:I say Amen to that!!
Reply:What are your sources for statistics on illegal immigrant groups you have referenced? ie. The conclusion you draw that these children are being had:
A) on-purpose to: 1)take advantage of federal welfare programs and 2) use their children as playing cards on the recent parental deportation which on many occasions have split up families and debates
B) that illegal immigrants have $300,000 children per year and they are "unwanted"
Also, are these your only definitions of a "good" parent?
Are there any other qualities that make a "good" parent other than:
a) the ability to provide material things? What can be said about the parent who is not an illegal immirgant and is able to provide materially but not emotionally? Or, the parent that is able to provide materially yet does drugs or physically hurts their children? Or, the parent who is able to provide materially and does away with their child sending them away to boarding school and is too lazy to teach their own kid issues of grooming, hygiene, about what he or she will experience as a boy or girl turning into manhood or womanhood, or too lazy to teach their kid how to dress, how to eat a meal at a table, how to relate to others and be a law abiding citizen, or too lazy to teach their child other more important issues that will be faced later on in their work life like how to embrace other cultures and races and how to view people that have a different color of skin or speak a different language?
b) observing the Bible's 10 Commandments? (which was MOSES law and was eradicated upon Jesus death as a sacrifice to the world yet many of today's laws and fundamental Christian beliefs stem from and/or are based on these 10 old Bible commandments as an overal golden rule of living in today's society)
Your tacit assumption is that all unmarried parents make poor or bad parents. This is not the case.
As someone who has conducted much research in the Social Sciences, I will tell you for a fact that illegal immigrants are not the main users of our federal welfare system. In fact, there is a dominant culture from the lower class that takes the prize for its use of the federal welfare system but I don't wish to say which one because I do not wish to offend anyone.
Why are you concerned about the role illegal immigrants may play in the federal welfare system? How about more important issues at hand like how our nation and citizens are ridiculed and mocked and has lost credibility within the world scene?
Our beloved country is popular for their military, education, and technology. We can fly across the world, take a trip to the moon but WAR, with all of our country's leadership capabilities and progress made in several industries and fields thus far...WAR still prevails yet an antiquated way of dealing with conflict.

Noting: Government spends $13 billion to create 10,000 nuclear bombs and claim they will only truly need in an emergency to send 5-10 of such bombs. They believe this lobbying is important as business is the most powerful force in the country.
Or, how about being concerned with other more important things like:
1) our society is individualistic and based on the greed of commerce.
2) global warming. As an example of what is wrong with our society: Protests (over 1300 across the country) on TXU investment by one out of 3 major corporate conglomerates $11 billion towards financing 11 new dirty energy coal plants in Texas.
Per Tom Bender who, according to Wikipedia, is considered to be one of the American founders of “green architecture” and “sustainability” movements"
“A community which lives only for the greed of commerce and consumption does not enjoy itself and does not enjoy life. Such a community has: a) not learned the incredible drama of life of which we are a part of and b) is not capable of creating sustaining bonds within itself, with its neighbors and with the natural world in which it is embedded.”

Reply:The problem is not the children in and of themselves but how to stem the tide of illegal immigration. The answer is this: Cut off the jobs. Start holding the employers responsible for breaking existing US immigration law and haul EMPLOYERS away in handcuffs. Without jobs or access to benefits, people will self deport.

A very large problem is the undocumented workers who are making children in the U.S. are not good parents. The parents make around 300,000 children a year (mostly out of wedlock) just so they can use the kids as pawns to help the stop the parent from being deported.
Those parents are also not good people. Good people care about children. Good people would never purposefully be putting kids in a bad situation in the first place. Also, good people would never think it is right to break the Bible's Ten Commandments. And, good people would never try to get pregnant out of wedlock. Furthermore, good people would never try to get pregnant without a way to pay for their children. Because of their lack of money, the parents want the government to pay their hospital bills. The parents also try to collect any government benefits they can get for the child and for themselves.
How Much Longer Will Children Of Undocumented Workers Be Used As Playing Cards?
It really doesn't matter what the 14th Amendment was designed for. It is law.
It needs to be repealed.
Reply:Its a messy situation.
Reply:Deport them and their families and then let them try to come in "The RIGHT WAY"!
Reply:Playing cards? I thought they were being used as ANCHORS???????
Seriously, the 14th amendment absolutely positively needs to be removed since it's purpose has long been fulfilled. If you could go back in time and tell Congress in the late 1800's how illegal aliens have been abusing this law, there is no doubt in my mind the law would be written differently.
Reply:All children born in this country to illegals, need to go back with their parents to the land their parents are from. I do not believe anyone has the right to give birth in a country the parents are not citizens in and then expect a free ride forever because of that child. THAT is child abuse.
Reply:I say Amen to that!!
Reply:What are your sources for statistics on illegal immigrant groups you have referenced? ie. The conclusion you draw that these children are being had:
A) on-purpose to: 1)take advantage of federal welfare programs and 2) use their children as playing cards on the recent parental deportation which on many occasions have split up families and debates
B) that illegal immigrants have $300,000 children per year and they are "unwanted"
Also, are these your only definitions of a "good" parent?
Are there any other qualities that make a "good" parent other than:
a) the ability to provide material things? What can be said about the parent who is not an illegal immirgant and is able to provide materially but not emotionally? Or, the parent that is able to provide materially yet does drugs or physically hurts their children? Or, the parent who is able to provide materially and does away with their child sending them away to boarding school and is too lazy to teach their own kid issues of grooming, hygiene, about what he or she will experience as a boy or girl turning into manhood or womanhood, or too lazy to teach their kid how to dress, how to eat a meal at a table, how to relate to others and be a law abiding citizen, or too lazy to teach their child other more important issues that will be faced later on in their work life like how to embrace other cultures and races and how to view people that have a different color of skin or speak a different language?
b) observing the Bible's 10 Commandments? (which was MOSES law and was eradicated upon Jesus death as a sacrifice to the world yet many of today's laws and fundamental Christian beliefs stem from and/or are based on these 10 old Bible commandments as an overal golden rule of living in today's society)
Your tacit assumption is that all unmarried parents make poor or bad parents. This is not the case.
As someone who has conducted much research in the Social Sciences, I will tell you for a fact that illegal immigrants are not the main users of our federal welfare system. In fact, there is a dominant culture from the lower class that takes the prize for its use of the federal welfare system but I don't wish to say which one because I do not wish to offend anyone.
Why are you concerned about the role illegal immigrants may play in the federal welfare system? How about more important issues at hand like how our nation and citizens are ridiculed and mocked and has lost credibility within the world scene?
Our beloved country is popular for their military, education, and technology. We can fly across the world, take a trip to the moon but WAR, with all of our country's leadership capabilities and progress made in several industries and fields thus far...WAR still prevails yet an antiquated way of dealing with conflict.

Who designed the drawings on a deck of playing cards, like the King, Queen, Jack?
Each brand is a little different but all are somewhat similar in overall style. Was it someone in history?
Who designed the drawings on a deck of playing cards, like the King, Queen, Jack?
Playing cards have a very long history, originating in China. The common designs today are really just complying to tradition since some games rely on their characteristics. There really isn't any one person who started this.

Reply:Hand means 5 cards, right?
So there are only 48 hands that contain all 4 aces and 1 other card.
For two red and 3 black there are 26*25*26*25*24=10140000 hands.

I need to write and algorithm on how to sort the deck of cards into piles of the same color. How do I do that?
How do I write this algorithm? I have a standard deck of playing cards.?
One would naturally think that one would examine each card and have a condition on its color. Depending if the color condition was found to be true it would be added to one of four spots.
if (color == red) { add to red pile }
if (color == blue) { add to blue pile }
etc...
Past that, you're question is not posed in a way that makes it easier to answer. Remember to give as much information as you can in your question so a person answering can give the most accurate advice.

How do u read Tarot Cards or Deck of Playing Cards?
There is no way to give such a detailed answer on here. Get a book on Tarot and study the cards. It's fun.
Reply:It's a little more involved than something you can plonk onto a message board. It takes a lot of study, meditation and focus-work as well as patience. I've never used a regular card deck, only tarot decks - but I suggest you start out with a "gentle" deck like the Connolly deck or the Robin Wood deck - find one that has images that are pleasing to you and that you feel drawn to - don't just pick a deck off the shelf and call it good. There's a fair amount of info on www.witchvox.com and readers and info on the e-list and website www.witchgrove.org but I'll warn you now: These folks take it seriously and will expect you to do the same if you're really wanting to learn.

To fully answer your question see my source (below)
The following gives you a "taster"
In a deck of cards, the courts and the jokers, if any, are the most interesting subjects, because their illustrations with human figures usually contain many interesting details. According to the deck, these personages may be single-headed or double-headed (i.e. the character may be either shown in full length, or doubled by a line which cuts the character into two symmetrical halves). Furthermore, the personages may be shown in different attitudes, the clothes they wear may change, colours too may be very different, the suit signs may not be the usual ones, and the overall graphic style may suggest a given theme. All together, these elements form the deck's pattern.

Playing Cards!!!!!!?
if you lay a deck of cards face down in a single line such that all the cards overlay 90% of the card to one side of it on somethign the cards can "grip" such as felt or carpet, you can grab the last card that is the bottom card at one side of the row and flip them causing them to reverse domino so that they all flip over and lay on the other side, its hard to explain in text but its really pimp when you do it.

I like to do card tricks but dont have any playing cards and cant go to the store to get them. Is there any where that i can print these out for free online or can anyone tell me how many cards there are of each suit and number and how many kings and jacks so i can make them myself? -Thank You!
Playing Cards?
you really want to get a real deck of cards.
they are not printed on ordinary paper, and just feel different.
Reply:0 1's, 4 2's, 4 3's, 4 4's, 4 5's and four for every other number till you get to eleven, which is a jack.(4) 4 queens 4 kings and 4 aces. hope i helped:)
Reply:4 of every number. And 4 jack,4queens,4 kings, and 2 jokers(you really dont need them)
Reply:A standard deck is 52 cards.
There are four suits: spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs (or swords, cups, coins and wands)
There are 13 cards per suit:
Ace, 2 - 10, Jack, Queen, King
Decks usually have 2 jokers.
That is a standard American deck. There are decks for other games more commonly found in other parts of the world.

What is the difference between bridge size and poker size playing cards?
Playing cards are 3.5" in height. Poker (Wide) size cards are 2.5" (62mm) wide and Bridge size cards are 2.25" (57mm) wide. Most casinos and poker rooms use bridge size (yes, bridge) cards because they are easier to handle and shuffle than the larger poker size cards.
Please note that the above answer is slightly incorrect. Poker size cards are wider compared to bridge size
Also please consider using plastic cards. They are much much longer lasting and can even be washed if they get dirty.
What is the difference between bridge size and poker size playing cards?
The most common sizes for playing cards are...
Poker size (2½in × 3½in, approx. 63mm × 88mm)
Bridge size (2¼in × 3½in, approx. 56mm × 87mm).
So basically Bridge size is 1/4 inch wider.

Are the face card designs of playing cards copyrighted material?
I've examined decks made by different makers, namely Bee and Bicycle, and each face card is the exact same design as its counterpart in the other deck. I'd imagine if there was a copyright, it's probably expired long ago. Can anyone confirm this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanx, J Paul.
Are the face card designs of playing cards copyrighted material?
The Ace of Spades and the Joker are copyrighted, but the thing you have overlooked is U S Playing Card Company makes both Bee and Bicycle, as well as Aviator, Maverick, Tally-ho, Hoyle, Streamline and Gemaco. Thats why so many of the ones you examined looked alike. There are a few more manufacturers out there and occasionally you will see slight differences.
Reply:the only copyrighted card in any deck is the ace of spades....and sometimes the jokers

Playing cards?
why are there jokers in a pack of playing cards for. have they r aways been in a pack of cards if not when were they put in and why.
Playing cards?
Some games require the use of the jokers, but the reason most put them in is the printing. The basic sheets print the entire deck (both sides) 7 cards by 8 cards, for a total of 56. That would be 52 regular playing cards, two Jokers, and two additional cards with advertising
Reply:My father told me that there was a game where they do actually use the joker but I don't think he ever told me what the name of the game was. Maybe he didn't know himself, just someone else told him. It would be interesting to find out though. Have a star.
Reply:Kings %26amp; Queens love Jesters. Jesters = Jokers.
Reply:Its just a joke.
Reply:If you play Gin Rummy, you use the jokers as floating cards
Reply:if u play big 2 u use jokers 4 any card u want except 2
Reply:i use the joker if one of the cards get damaged on the back and the other players then know what it is.....ill only do this if i don't have a new deck Handy.
Also there are a few game that use the joker.
Reply:Theyre for playing with you total douche.

Is it true that a person can use a ordinary deck of playing cards in the same way as tarot card?
If you have any links about this i would be very interested.
Is it true that a person can use a ordinary deck of playing cards in the same way as tarot card?
yes you can; you might try to just google tarot and find a linc.
Reply:Yes, it's true. My 100 year old aunt has been reading cards forever and that's what she uses. She's the only one I know though who uses an ordinary deck cards ... and she's often right when she reads someone's cards.
Reply:Yes, Starshine and Suraya were right. The interpretations are exactly the same (Diamonds are suit of Pentacles, Spades are suit of swords, Hearts are suit of cups, and Clubs are suit of wands). You'll lose the expressiveness that you might get from the major arcana cards of course, but can interpret as usual. Jack serves as both the page and the knight, the rest of the minor arcana is exactly the same.
I'd recommend small to medium sized spreads instead of very large ones. (like a simple 3 card spread, instead of a large celtic cross) Sometimes, a large spread may have two or three cards that represent the same thing. Having a larger deck can help with this, the redundant cards can add extra meaning, or show you different aspects. With a small deck, you might not have another card which applies very well.
Reply:Yes this is very much true. I have used playing cards for tarot readings before.Diamonds are suit of Pentacles, Spades are suit of swords, Hearts are suit of cups, and Clubs are suit of wands. Hope this helps you out.
Reply:The tarot cards were the basis of playing cards. Each of the 52 cards in a playing deck CAN somehow be linked to a matching card in the tarot, but I have no idea how. You should be able to find a site or even a book that could tell you how. You may also want to seek out someone who does tarot professionally; they may be able to teach you.
Have fun!

Does anyone know of good icebreakers with a deck of playing cards?
a game called go fish. very good fun and you have to use the peoples names to play. full instructions at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Fish
enjoy!
Reply:well we used to play a game called spoons. you sit in a circle and put a pile of spoons in the center (one less than the number of people playing). you designate a certain card that is the 'wild card' and then you begin to pass the cards around. the first person who gets the 'wild card' dives for a spoon, which then causes everyone else to dive for a spoon - whoever comes up without a spoon is out, and you continue thusly until only one person is left (taking out one more spoon every time). it's pretty dang hilarious actually.
What are some of the best hotels

What are the dimensions of playing cards?
I would like to know the metric dimensions (centimetres, or millimetres) of an individual card in a pack of 52 e.g. Ace of Spades
What are the dimensions of playing cards?
A standard deck of playing cards consists of 52 cards which have a rectangular shape, dimensions of about 2.5 x 3.5 in (6.35 x 9 cm), and rounded corners. The cards are made up of layers of paper and are often called pasteboards. The faces of these cards are typically decorated with two colors, red and black, and four suits including clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds. Each suit has thirteen cards consisting of three face cards (king, queen, jack) and number cards from one (ace) to ten. The face cards are doubleended, which means the same design is on both halves of the card. This eliminates the need to orient these cards in a hand as both ends will automatically be positioned correctly. In the upper left corner of most cards are index numbers and symbols, which make the card value clearly visible when held in a fan position. This is the position most often used during a card game. Two jokers are also typically included with a new pack of cards
Reply:Is that bridge-size cards or poker-size cards?
There are also jumbo cards, round cards, miniature cards.
