 In Claude Gaspar Bachet's //Problemes plaisans et delectibles, qui se font par les nombres//, 1624, p. 143 of the second edition, a basic system is given for constructing layouts ranging from twelve to forty-two cards. And instead of relying on four mnemonic words to identify the thought-of pairs, a system of positional relationships is employed. Bachet also gives the method for dealing the cards into the required pattern. This reference comes from Bill Kalush. In Claude Gaspar Bachet's //Problemes plaisans et delectibles, qui se font par les nombres//, 1624, p. 143 of the second edition, a basic system is given for constructing layouts ranging from twelve to forty-two cards.

-The earliest published record of the use of the mnemonic words Mutus, Dedit, Nomen and Cocis appears to be Edme-Gilles Guyot's //Nouvelles récréations, physiques et mathématiques//, 1769, p. 28 of the Hugard translation (unpublished). It was later described in William Hooper's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12787/Hooper+Rational+Recreations+Second+Ed+Vol+1+1782/90|Rational Recreations Vol. 1]]//, 1774, p. 70 of the second edition, where it appears as "The Ten Duplicates," the title for which it would be known for a great number of its earliest appearances in print. Later it was frequently called "The Pairs Re-paired."+The earliest published record of the use of the mnemonic words Mutus, Dedit, Nomen and Cocis appears to be Edme-Gilles Guyot's //Nouvelles récréations, physiques et mathématiques//, Vol. 2, 1769, p. 273; p. 28 of the Hugard translation (unpublished).
