Curse of Scotland on the eve of the Battle of Culloden (1746). However he went on to remark that the book claims that "The curse of Scotland must be something which that nation hates and detests. The Scots held in the utmost detestation the Pope." In the card game Pope Joan, very popular in the 19th century, the 9 is the most powerful card, and it is called the "Pope". The game is played on a special board on which the middle is marked "Pope Joan", and it is used in association with this card. The game uses 51 cards (the 8 is
Ten of diamonds decahedron Ten of diamonds decahedron In geometry, the ten-of-diamonds decahedron is a space-filling polyhedron with 10 faces, 2 opposite rhombi with orthogonal major axes, connected by 8 identical isosceles triangle faces. Michael Goldberg references it by the playing card name, "ten-of-diamonds", as a 10-faced polyhedron with two opposite rhombic (diamond-shaped) faces. He catalogued it in a 1982 paper as 10-II, the second in a list of 26 known space-filling decahedra. If the space-filling polyhedron is placed in a 3-D coordinate grid, the coordinates for the 8 vertices can be given as: (0, ±2, −1), (±2, 0, 1), (±1, 0, −1), (0,
