Does a combination consist of any thing from 1 individual card to all 52 cards together with every thing in between?
I was thinking 5 card hands...
It means using all 52 cards at once and counting how many different ways you can arrange them.
1

No. It means that the time it takes Venus to rotate once is longer than the time it takes Venus to orbit the Sun once. Venus has an irregular rotation. I think that it is theorized that some sort of event like possibly a very large asteroid collision caused the rotation to be thrown off.

so really there are even a lot more ways to order a 52 card deck
They could have said half a deck in the OP and it would still be correct.

This seemed obvious from how it was written.

Take a deck of cards, shuffle them up and put them in a stack. That's one.
Shuffle again, that's two.
Take the top card and put it on the bottom, that's three.
Throw them on the floor, pick them up, that's four.
Et cetera
I see... I was wondering how straight flushes happen as much as they do.

axial roatation is slower than solar rotation. That one's easy

That's a completely different scenario, idiot.

Yeah, I get that. I thought it was trying to get you on clever wording.

They're both infinite. But I think that this might not be technically correct because I think that there is calculus out there that demonstrates that some infinite sets are bigger than others.
Don't ask me to prove it though. That's just what I've been told.

Oh. Nah. This list is pretty straight forward.

this one is deceiving. I assume this is using an infinite series? It's like the fact that if you added up all positive numbers together, the answer is -1/12. Yes, it's negative one twelfth.
Now, while mathematically true, it doesn't mean you can add up all numbers and get that because you can't add up all numbers, they're infinite.
Same with that series, it's a misleading way of phrasing it using a mathematical proof of an infinite series.

Yall are overthinking this one.
How many odd numbers are there? Infinity
How many odd and even numbers are there put together? Infinity
They are the same amount.
