Combinations of card shuffles, 52! is 8.06581751709439e+67.
Population of the Earth (possible number of people that could shuffle a deck of cards) is 6,648,429,413. That’s 1.2131914195137428317011748952143e+58 shuffles per person.
Divide 1.2131914195137428317011748952143e+58 shuffles by number of seconds per year (31536000) and you get 3.8470047549268861989509604744239e+50.
That means: if every person alive on the Earth started shuffling one deck of cards per second, it would take 3.8470047549268861989509604744239e+50 years to get through all the combinations.
