theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards

Saturday Night Contest - Guess Again

1. 4 of clubs and king of spades
2. jack of diamonds and king of spades
3. ace of spades and king of spades
 
1. jack of spades (my fav) and 10 of diamonds (my friends fav)

2. 4 of diamonds and 7 of spades

3. 10 of diamonds and 8 of diamonds
 
Looking at it statistically

Well, there are 56 cards in a deck of Guardians:

52 cards
2 jokers
1 double backer
1 ad

This means the odds of guessing 1 card right is 1 in 56.
Since you get three guesses, the real odds are about 1 in 18.66
That means the odds of guessing two cards right is about 1 in 348.
So that means, in theory, if my post is the 348th, and it's something nobody else has said yet, then I'll win the contests.

Eh. Too much work.
