Wow Buzz. You've sure taken humoring the newbie to new heights. I will of course check my numbers again and if I can elucidate my reasoning I'll do that. My background includes math, but is not math, so sometimes I get to thinking I know more than I do.

Sam - I don't know what that statement means. I don't know what "degeneracy" used in that context means.

A flop of 35T is the same as 53T, 5T3, 3T5, T53, and T35. It just means I don't really know what I'm talking about. It's the 6 (3!) in (48*47*46)/6=17296. Thanks so much for taking this on.
