Default Re: Few questions..

This is crazy. I'll just pick the top 48 cards, and I'll win if all 4 aces are at the bottom of the deck. What are the odds that the bottom 4 cards are all aces? They are just 1 in C(52,4) = 1 in 270,725 like RocketMan said. I win all of these without a free draw. Obviously the free draw gives me more chances to win, not less. If you think it gives me less, I'll just forfeit those cases and be back to 270,725. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The chance of winning your ace game is 1/4, and of course I get another play if I draw the Ah, why wouldn't I? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
