This is a thread for things that sound like bollocks, not actual bollocks!

I make that as 8.06x10^65 (correct me if I'm wrong). I'd like to see an estimate of how many times a deck of cards is shuffled in a typical day in a Vegas casino. I imagine if you multiplied that by all the decks of cards in the casino, then multiplied that by all the days the casino had been open, then did the same for all the other casinos in Vegas you'd get a pretty impressive sum as well. Then do the same for every big casino city and add them all together. That would give an idea of the true scale of the number we're talking about.
I did the math and it came to 5,040 (some of the numbers were estimated).

Well, it is one of the COVID symptoms, so they shouldn’t be travelling anyway.

I think even if you had 10 billion people on each planet, 1 billion planets in a solar system, 200 billion solar systems in a galaxy and 500 billion galaxies in the universe, and had each person doing a million unique shuffles for every second since the universe began you still wouldn't have completed every order.
It doesn't sound right but I'm pretty sure the numbers work out.

I just remembered the one about how many times you would have to fold a piece of paper for it to reach from here to the moon. It would only have to be about 37 folds or so.
