Partially ordered set, an Uncommon card
In mathematics, especially order theory, a partial order on a set is an arrangement such that, for certain pairs of elements, one precedes the other.
- Rarity
- Uncommon
- Domain
- Science
- ATK
- 73
- DEF
- 64
- Power
- 137
- Wikipedia reads a year

Power 137 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 70 % of WikiCards cards.
Partially ordered set quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Partially ordered set card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Partial orders thus ______ total orders, in which every pair is comparable.
Answer
generalize. Partial orders thus generalize total orders, in which every pair is comparable. From the Partially ordered set article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Rectifier. Rectifier 80 · Partially ordered set 73 · Albert Bierstadt 70 · Galaxy filament 67 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The word partial is used to indicate that not every pair of elements needs to be comparable, that is, there may be pairs for which neither element precedes the other.
- Partial orders thus generalize total orders, in which every pair is comparable.
- Formally, a partial order is a homogeneous binary relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Partially ordered set article was read about 98,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 64: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Partially ordered set
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
