Explain a common structure using 22 + 4 × 14.

Explain a common structure using 22 + 4 × 14. Two groups A common structure has 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. These are categories, not rankings of accuracy or importance. Four suits Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles commonly have fourteen cards each. Names may vary by work. Fourteen per suit Ace through Ten gives ten number cards, plus Page, Knight, Queen and King. Ace is already in the ten; do not add it twice. 22 + 4 × (10 + 4) = 78. Check extra and information cards in an eighty-card work rather than judging authenticity. For learning and reflection; not professional advice. Completing exercises is not a qualification.
