A-c-e, T-w-o, T-h-r-e-e...

[Toby]

There is an interesting fact about deck of playing cards. If you spell all values form Ace to King, counting one card for each letter, 52. card will end in "G" for kinG. It looks like this:

A-c-e, t-w-o, t-h-r-e-e, f-o-u-r, f-i-v-e, s-i-x, s-e-v-e-n, e-i-g-h-t, n-i-n-e, t-e-n, j-a-c-k, q-u-e-e-n, k-i-n-g. There are 52 letters, each letter for one card. It works in English, Sweedesh, Dutch, German and Franch.

Reason for this thread is that it also work in Serbian language... Yup, im from Serbia. And it looks like this:

K-e-c, d-v-a, t-r-i, ch-e-t-i-r-i, p-e-t, sh-e-s-t, s-e-d-a-m, o-s-a-m, d-e-v-e-t, d-e-s-e-t, p-u-b, d-a-m-a, k-r-a-lj. See, 52

I invite all of you ho lives in countries that speaks different language from those above, to try this.

I speak English, German and French. Looks like you've got those covered

This is really interesting.

A conspiracy, maybe?

And there are 4 suits, like seasons. 13 different values, which represent the lunar cycle. 52 cards in a deck, 52 weeks in a year. If you add up the values of the cards of a deck, it equals 364.

Charlemagne (Sp?)

And the ace of spades was used as a secret weapon

Quote from adjones: 52 days in a year.

?

There are 52 weeks in a year.

If you add up the values of the cards of a deck, it equals 365.

if you add all the cards in the deck, you get 364. if you are counting a joker as 1, you get 365. the reason there are 2 jokers is to make sure it works with a leap year aswell.

[DavidMisner]

Let's see,

pc, tw, thr, fr, fv, sx, svn, ght, nn, tn, jck, qn, kng.

Doesn't work if you drop all the vowels.

unka, dunka, trunka, qunka, cunka, sunka, siunka, ounka, nunka, dunka, junka, queunka, kiunka.

Doesn't work in Davidian either.

Strange...

Thanks for pointing out my mistakes, guys. I did mean weeks, and I did mean 364. *Runs off to edit.*

 

[Johnlawl]

Cool, I never knew that. Thanks for sharing.

Yup, exactly like it. Except that this doesn't revolve around one number, it really has nothing to do with our every day life, and Jim Carrie isn't here... bummer.

In fourteenth century Spain, the four suits represented the four dominant principles of the prevailing society. Diamonds (oro = gold, money) stood for capital, Hearts (copas = cups. goblets) for the church, Spades (spadas = swords) for nobility, and Clubs (baston = clubs) for political power. The French followed this pattern closely, renaming tha suits carreau (Diamonds), coeur (Hearts), pique (Spades) and trefle (Clubs).
