    The author's casual mention of 52! at the opening of the article triggered an OLD webpage that I saw many years ago

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;czep.net&#x2F;weblog&#x2F;52cards.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;czep.net&#x2F;weblog&#x2F;52cards.html

    Anyone know how to determine the age of this page (it&#x27;s got be at least 20yrs old)

      The main.css file it imports dates itself to March 9 of 2005, and is housed in an &quot;ancient history&quot; section of the website that covers everything before October 26, 2010, so: &quot;sometime between those two years&quot; =P

        Its first appearance on the WayBack Machine is October 13, 2009, which narrows the range somewhat.
