The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It states that a partially ordered set containing upper bounds for every chain necessarily contains at least one maximal element.
- The lemma was proven by Kazimierz Kuratowski in 1922 and independently by Max Zorn in 1935.
- It occurs in the proofs of several theorems of crucial importance, for instance the Hahn–Banach theorem in functional analysis, the theorem that every vector space has a basis, Tychonoff's theorem in topology stating that every product of compact spaces is compact, and the theorems in abstract algebra that in a ring with identity every proper ideal is contained in a maximal ideal and that every…
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Zorn's lemma article was read about 72,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 55: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Zorn's lemma
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.
