I think you came to my school and you were talking about code machine things in world war 2. or maybe you just look the same as the man who came to my school :P

@maxina98 That was me.

I did it for the whole deck: ♥J♠J♦6♣5♥8♠5♥3♣7♥2♠A♠10♥7♦K♥4♣­8♣10♥9♣6♠6♥A♠K♥5♦2♦J♦3♣J♥Q♣9♦1­0♦4♠8♦A♣2♣K♦Q♥6♦7♣3♦8♠7♣A♦5♠9♣­4♥10♠3♠Q♣Q♥K♦9♠2♠4

This only works if you do the suit too though, and if you go from spades to hearts to diamonds to clubs, and A2345678910JQK. So it would start out Ace of spades (S-P-A-D-E-S-A-C-E) then go to Ace of hearts (H-E-A-R-T-S-A-C-E) and so on. :-)

my boyfriend showed this trick to me when we're still not in relationship... and i answered it right after about 9 days... this trick is the reason why we become boyfriends... haha...

3,8,7,A,Q,6,4,2,J,K,10,9,5

he even gave it a story so it'll be easy to remember.

"in the year [387] there was [A] [QUEEN] at the age of [64] who had [2] sons named [JACK] and [KING], their kingdom died in the year [1095]"

I always hated math..If I had you as a teacher math would be fun..

[TheLoonwolf]

I just reversed time to get the right order. Do you have some sort of mathematical solution to the puzzle?

[TonyEjan]

The correct sequence is (from top card face down) 3, 8, 7, A, Q, 6, 4, 2, J, K, 10, 9, 5 as long as you spell all of them correctly.

u look kinda cute in this one!

You can apply a few brain cells to get the order (By Programming)

Or, you can do it yourself by recursively correcting the order.

Man I got really excited for a moment, I blame lack of sleep from watching all these awesome vids, I thought he was going to pull a suit out if the cards, if you ever figure that one out I suggest a zoot suit
