custom36 5 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Odds of getting any 2 card combination is 1/1326.So for both of you to have AA would be 1/1326 X 1/1326 = 1 in 1,758,276I hope that's right. Yay math!Welcome to the forum. Link to post Share on other sites

BaseJester 1 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I haven't personally thought this through, but this sounds like a plausible answer for a given hand.Ask the WizardIf ten people are each dealt two cards from a single deck what is the probability that two players will get a pair of aces? First, there are 10*9/2=45 ways you can choose 2 players out of 10. The probability of two specific players getting four aces is 1/combin(52,4)=1/270,725. So the probability of any two players getting a pair of aces is 45/270,725=0.0001662. Aug. 7, 2003 Link to post Share on other sites

BaseJester 1 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 50/50Even it happens or it doesn't.What do you think the probability of a given reader not having heard this joke is? I estimate 0.03. Link to post Share on other sites
