probability question

Say you take a standard, randomized 52 card deck and start revealing cards off the top. What are the odds that you hit all four Kings before hitting any Ace?

Re: probability question

1/70.

consider only the aces and kings. there are 8!/(4!4!), or 70, ways to order them. only one of these is KKKKAAAA, in order from the top of the deck.
