[pagat.com](https://www.pagat.com/) is a good website. Ever play a card game and forget the rules? Remember the rules of a card game but forgot the name? Pagat is a website written by John McLeod with the rules and variations of "card games from around the world" and it's been really helpful on several occasions when I wanted to fill in the "missing rules" from my family's card game oral traditions.

i'm sure people have known about the 7/5 approximation for a while now but I just noticed it recently when I realized that the standard size of a US playing card (3.5 x 2.5 inches) is nearly a √2:1 ratio, which means it mimics the A-series of paper (think A4 printer paper) where if you half or double it you get the same aspect ratio. That means if you stick two playing cards together by the long edge, you get something _almost_ the same shape as a playing card, because 7/5 is close to √2 and 10/7 is _also_ close to √2. i'm sure people have known about the 7/5 approximation for a while now but I just noticed it recently when I realized that the standard size of a US playing card (3.5 x 2.5 inches) is nearly a √2:1 ratio, which means it mimics the A-series of paper (think A4 printer paper) where if you half or double it you get the same aspect ratio.

so I guess if you're in one of those countries that writes the date before the month, you can celebrate root2 approximation day on July 10th :p so I guess if you're in one of those countries that writes the date before the month, you can celebrate root2 approximation day on July 10th :p
