If we could teach monkeys to shuffle cards I wonder how long until they reproduce a deck that’s already happened.

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.
