Go outside and find some to help you get all of the cards face up. Then back inside the room, "deal" the cards into two piles (counting to make sure that you get the "decks" even).

Equal as in same amount of cards in each pile or equal as in same Value of cards in each deck?
(Same value as in for example all red cards in one pile and all black in the other, this would give 2 of each value in each pile)
I think this is one of those trick question puzzles where the answer uses word play or something not expected like going outside and getting someone to help you.
