Re: Red / Black Cards. Puzzle
[ QUOTE ]
This surprised me.
A single red card is removed from a standard 52 card deck. Then 13 cards are drawn and found to be the same color. What is the probability that they are black?

<font color="white">I should be able to do this one!
Number of ways to get 13 consecutive red = C(25,13) = 5200300
Number of ways to get 13 consecutive black = C(26,13) = 10400600
P(black) = 10400600 / (5200300 + 10400600) = 2/3</font>
