The (!) at the end of the title stands for the mathematical term prime. This is a short 10 minute plus video on YouTube that makes something incomprehensible to a majority of us very comprehensible and is extremely poetic as well.

I think it stands for factorial and can be expressed as n! For a deck of cards, it would be 51x50x49x48x...x2x1=8.065817517 E+67
The number 8.0658 followed by 67 zeros. That's how many combinations there are to shuffle a deck of cards. No wild cards, of course.

It is factorial. Don't know why I wrote prime. Video is excellent.
