Notes about the number Seven

• In a suite of 13 cards the total number of rank values amounts to 91.

• This divided by 7, gives the number of cards in the suite (13).

• In an entire deck the number of rank values is 364, and this divided by 7 gives 52, the number of cards in a full deck.

• The average value of a card, therefore, counting by rank, is 7.
