Magic figures of playing cards


Did you know that the traditional deck of playing cards are a veritable and most ingenious form of calendar?
* There are 52 weeks in the year and 52 playing cards

* There are 13 weeks in each season and there are also 13 cards in each suit.

* There are 4 seasons and 4 suits

* There are 12 months of the year and 12 Court cards (those which have faces)

* The Red cards represent the Day, the Black cards the Night

* If you let the Jacks = 11, the Queens = 12, and the Kings = 13,
then add up all the sums of 1 + 2 + 3 + …to 13 = 91
Multiply this by 4, for the 4 suits;
91 x 4 = 364 then add 1 that is the Joker and you will arrive at the number of days in the year? Is that mere coincidence? or a greater intelligence
* Of interest is the sum of the letters in all the names of the cards;
 eg : add up the letters in "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, Jack, Queen, King" = 52 !
