**Ahoy there,** The next Full Moon Picnic will be Mon June 29 from 9 - 11 PM on Pont des Arts. Moonrise will be about 10:35 PM and sunset about 9:45 PM. However jet-lagged arriving that morning from the US, I promise I’ll be on the bridge in the evening. June was known to American Indians for the Full Strawberry Moon because this is the time to pick strawberries. (I pick mine in the market.) In Europe it was known for the Rose Moon. **WHAT**: Everyone brings food and drinks to share. **WHERE**: Pont des Arts. We'll gather around the 2nd bench from the Right Bank side of the bridge. Nearest metros: Pont Neuf and Louvre-Rivoli. **WHEN**: Monday June 29 at 9 PM **WHY**: Share one of the most memorable sights in Paris with some of the nicest people around. **WHO**: You and your friends. **HOW** to find us: Keep your eyes out for a small telescope on tripod if the sky is clear and a group of "lunatics" gathered around the 2nd bench from the Right Bank laughing and speaking English and French. **THEME**: Reflect on your pool, whether in the colors of your World Cup team or in the puke green peeling American flag blue pool in D.C. **BIRTHDAYS**: Are you a Cancer? If so, bring a cake so we can celebrate your birthday this month and blow out the world’s largest birthday candle. **PUZZLER:** Think big. If you wanted to be the first person to ever accomplish something, what would you do? Think BIGGER! You want to accomplish something that has never ever happened before in the entire history of the universe. You want to achieve a unique claim to fame. Also think smaller. You’re lazy, you want to invest as little time and effort as possible. Hint? Take a deck of cards and a few seconds. **PUZZLER ANSWER:** OK there are probably billions times billions of possible answers. Here’s one. If you shuffle a deck of cards properly one time, you would almost certainly end up of a sequence of cards that has never been seen before in the history of the universe. Yes, ok playing cards haven’t been around that long. And ancient Egyptians couldn’t shuffle stone tablets properly. So let’s lose the constraints. Let’s say that every human being that ever lived shuffled a deck of cards once a second for the 13.8 billion years since the Big Bang. It's virtually 100% certain that not one of those 409,000,000,000,000,000 shuffles would result in a sequence of cards that match your single shuffle. That’s because the number of combinations of 52 cards is 52 x 51 x 50 x 49… ie. 52! (52 factoria) or about 80,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. While 4.09x1017 is huge, it's impossibly minuscule compared to 8.06x1067. And that’s why you should never gamble blackjack in Vegas! For more explanation and ironic amusement, check the link below. Maybe the Space Daily Editorial Team has dyslexia or can’t see straight or can’t count. The article says the answer is 8 followed by 67 zeroes, but unless I can’t see straight or count myself, their text shows 8 followed by 76 zeros. I know I’m being picky, but the difference is a factor of 1 billion. (Which is also on the order of the number of dollars per day wasted on the “excursion" in Iran by the US, okay yes by mr trump (his capitals are losing popularity by the day).
