Here is a challenge for you. Since I know all of you will get it, the challenge is to get it right on your first attempt.
Take 13 cards of 1 suit and have them in a face down stack.
You will take the top card and place it on the bottom of the stack.
You take the next card and flip it face up on the table.
The next card goes face down on the bottom of the stack.
Flip the next card face up on the table.
Keep doing this until all the cards are face up on the table.
The Challenge is to prearrange the 13 cards in the stack, so that your first dealt face up card is the K, and the next is the Q ,etc., down to the A as the last card flipped over.

Simple enough, 7K2Q6J3T59A84 from top to bottom. You can write it down just from your head. Begin with 13 "empty" slots, then from the top for every second empty slot put in your outcome sequence. Repeat from the top until all cards are placed. Be careful to count only every second empty slot, ignoring filled ones.
