Give 100 people the 7 of Hearts, 7 of Clubs, 7 of Spades and 7 of Diamonds and ask them to put them in order ... Actually the more I think of it the more I think this whole idea of 'order' is spurious in a card game that uses a standard pack of cards (52 suit cards and two jokers). I think I might change my mind and substitute the word precedence for order ... hmm, yes, that might work. But it needs more thinking time. lipska -- Lipska the Kat©: Troll hunter, sandbox destroyer and farscape dreamer of Aeryn Sun
