Step-by-Step Instructions

Randomly distribute one card (from a deck of cards) face down to every person in your group.
Do not look at, or show your card to anyone else.
When you say “GO,” instruct your group to flip their cards over and, as quickly as possible, form one straight line according to the numerical order of the cards, aces high, regardless of suit.
Using a stopwatch, time this first attempt.
Before a new round starts, the group is entitled to plan their next attempt.
When ready, the group must turn their cards face down again, and mingle with others swapping cards one for one until you say “STOP.”
Announce “GO” to start the next round, and record the time.
Repeat the process for up to five rounds, and record the fastest time.
