52 x 51 = 2652 is really 1326 it is half they say for the blak KK can come in any order
Poo,
I am so glad I jumped back in this thread. you are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT that the first number should be halved. I was careless in the first calculation. The formula is correct I just carelessy did 1/52 for the first card dealt and of course it should be 2/52 because when the first card is dealt there are 2 black kings available. After you get the first black king the second chance is 1/51 because one single black king remains and 51 cards remain. I carelessly did 1/52 not 2/52 on first leg of formula.
It is
2/52 x 1/51 in my haste I did 1/52 x 1/51
2/52 means of course 1/26 so what you have to do is very simply do the math at 1/26 and the answer is 1 in 233147396.
or 1 in 2.3 billion
Just goes to show that you one careless mistake ( 2/52 not 1/52) can bring you down LOL
