42.

I may going mad but I thought this was usually a trick question and 42 is the wrong answer (ie. 4 suits, 3 picture cards, 2 heads, 2 eyes).

 

The reason I think this is because I thought that traditionally some of the people always face sideways and not forwards.  In my pack that is the Jack, Queen and King of Diamonds so 6 eyes are missing making it 36 eyes in total.

moose, if you were to take your 2 eyes, 2 heads, 3 picture cards and 4 suits that would give 48 eyes, so 42 would be with 6 missing anyway wouldnt it?
It's still 42, for the same reason as Moose! has given. As the total would be 48 when counting the 4 suits, 3 picture cards, 2 heads and 2 eyes.
Oh yes!  So not mad, just stupid  :0)
Jansy, is that your real name or a user name?  My namd is Jancy!
surely only the royals have eyes eg King Queen and Knave. Two of the Knaves are one eyed, therefore 14 eyes
Spudqueen (Jancy), Jansy was my pet name when I was a toddler and it's been used ever since by close family and friends, my real name is Jan.
