1. This is wrong. He asked for either AA or KK. That's 109.5:1.
2. Even if he had meant just AA or just KK, the answer is not 1 in 220. It's 1/221, or 220:1.
3. You don't get it more often than the correct answer. (Long run.)
4. The correct word is 'than.'
5. This belongs in the probability forum.

It depends if you are new to the site or if you have just cashed out.
