Uniform objects, having the respective number equivalents, and being positioned in a certain way, can bear mathematic and other meanings - for example, they can form magic squares. Nine playing cards form magic square matrix 3 x 3, every horizontal, vertical and diagonal sum of which equals to 15. Joker takes the role of "1" at this cut of cards. The role he obviously likes.
