Actually no one gave the right answer since he asked about a 9 person table, though closer gave the correct answer (mine) for a 10 person table. For a 9 person table, the exact answer is 8*6/C(50,2) - C(8,2)/C(50,4) =~ 3.9% or 1 in 25.6 = 24.6:1.

Could you explain this calculation? What is 'C'? I'm afraid I never took maths to a very advanced level.

Thanks,
