Fun with Factorials

from Shift Happened

In this episode of the Second Shift, Houston attempts to break his co-hosts' brains with the mind-boggling scale of 52 factorial, explaining how every time you shuffle a deck of cards, you are likely holding a sequence that has never existed in the history of the universe. The crew also dives into the viral controversy of a homeowner hiding 100 mini ducks to "test" their house cleaner and discusses the shocking story of a four-year-old girl receiving death threats over her whimsical NFL playoff predictions. From the infinite possibilities of math to the dark side of social media, it is a journey through the fascinating and the frustrating. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
