Default Another Boredom Filler

Well shuffled deck of cards. You deal the cards face up, one at a time. Every time you flip a card, you add one to the count, then repeat when you get to 13. So you count 1-13 four times. What are the odds that you will make it through the deck without ever saying a number that matches the rank of the card. Call Aces 1 and Kings 13 to make it easier to think about.
