# Currently num_hands contains all 52 cards as separate elements. I tried this
# before: 
# 
# hands.times do |x| (cards * x).upto(cards*(x+1)) { |z| h << card_stack[z]}
# 
# which was also wrong. I'm trying to return an array containing as many arrays as
# there are hands, and inside those nested arrays should be card elements taken from
# the card_stack. The number of cards in each nested array (hand) is determined by
# the cards parameter.
