Hi all
quick question, does this stack allow you to know a position of a card in the deck aswell as if someone names a number from 1-52 you know the card at the number and vice versa. |

Yes. Definitively.

Is that a deck like osterlind uses,where you can tell what card comes next or what is this stack? never heard of that bfore, but sounds interesting.

Take a look at:

I have been trying to work out a mathematical stack whereby each card is linked to its location by a single equation.
I am just now discovering that apparently such stack's do exist. These are NOT sequential stacks like Si Stebbins or the OBCS mind you. At least this is my understanding so far. I also am understanding that Quickstack is one of them. I know some people look down on these stacks in comparison to memorized stacks, as you should not need even the "back-up" of the math should your memory fail, as you would not have it down cold if it did fail. Any who, although that is not the discussion I wish to get into, I am interested in a mathematical stack like this as math comes naturally to me and I would be far more likely to eventually get it memorized if it were done with math as there would be an actual logic attached to it rather than a mnemonic. What I am wondering is, is Quickstack a stack where by one equation is used to attach any card to its position? Also, is it avaliable on it's own, or just through Doug Dyment's book, Mindsights? Thanks.
