Pattern?

It doesn't actually have anything to do with any games, but it could be applied to a game if the settings were specific. There are several things that can be done from this pattern. Can anyone figure out the full pattern? I will be posting the full pattern and answers tonight around the same time I created this thread. ;)

Aw, I was hoping we all could play cards when we get together one day!...
 
It was difficult for me to think because I don’t have the deck playing cards to look at.

I‘ll make it less confusing:

10D
KS, 3H, 6C, 9D
QS, 2H, 5C, 8D
JS
AH, 4S, 7D, 10C
KH, 3S, 6D, 9C
QH, 2S, 5D, 8C
JH

Get it, yet? If so, finish the rest! :P

Now, you screwed it all up. I guess your brain is fried! ;)
 
Okay... here's the full pattern:

AD... 4C... 7H... 10S... KD... 3C... 6H... 9S... QD... 2C... 5H... 8S... JD... AC... 4H... 7S... 10D... KC... 3H... 6S... 9D... QC... 2H... 5S... 8D... JC... AH... 4S... 7D... 10C... KH... 3S... 6D... 9C... QH... 2S... 5D... 8C... JH... AS... 4D... 7C... 10H... KS... 3D... 6C... 9H... QS... 2D... 5C... 8H... JS...

After "JS", it goes back to "AD". You'll notice that there's only 52, which is exactly how many cards there are in a regular deck of playing cards minus the Jokers. On the left of each is the number (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King). On the right of each is the suit (Diamonds, Clubs, Hearts, Spades). What makes this pattern so unique is that no matter how you cut the deck, it will remain in order. Once you understand this pattern, you can always guess the next card... no matter how the deck is cut. One game that this would really apply to is Poker. If the deck is cut right and four people were playing, it could be dealt so that every player gets a straight flush... with the dealer getting a royal flush. ;)

Now, wasn't that an intriguing and educational lesson? :thumb:
