Them Greeks always at it so family lines sometimes get blurred

 

[CatmanV2]

OK, how many eyes are on a deck of playing cards?

C

 

[Navcorr]

Eye say! Eye'll go with 24 in total - including the two jokers.

Ok, let’s have a bash, 8 for the jack because he’s looking sideways, 16 for the Queen, 16 for the king, so that’s 40, then it depends on whether the joker is both up and down. So 40 without or 44/48 with a joker.

We're not including Jokers (so only the 52 cards)

But while you are close, not correct I'm afraid. You're missing an obvious but seldom observer characteristic.....

All queens are full face 4x4 = 16
2 Jacks are one eyed therefore 2x4 and 2x2 = 12
There is a one eyed king 1x2 plus 3 two eyed 3x4 = 14

Total is 42, I think

The ace of spades? It's very ornate...
