No problem! It only stood out to me because it’d be an amazing coincidence if 52! fit snuggly into 2^8. Being a nerd, I have many powers of 2 memorized!
With a little playing around, it seems like 57! is the last whole number that fits (254.5 bits needed) so you could add a couple of jokers in or even use a tarot deck’s minor arcana (56 cards) and have room with a 256-bit wide BigInt, with a few bits to spare!
