Saperate the piles into 2 equal piles of 26 cards each. Flip all the card of on pile. I think this question is simmilar to the 20 coin question. |

The correct solution is like this:
Saperate the piles into 2 piles of 13 & 39 cards each. Flip all the card of smaller pile. |

divide in two pile one with 13 and other with 39.
flip the cards of pile 13.
explanation: say pile with 39 has x up cards so card with pile 13 has 13-x up cards means it has x down cards so if u flip u will have x up cards same as pile with 39 cards |

So far everyone has a correct solution that yields the same number UP in each pile.
However, Lonewolf's solution accomplishes this AND the same number DOWN in each pile.
Simply split into 2 equal piles and turn one upside down. |
