Default Re: Card Deck Arrangement Problem
Glue the 4 aces together. (Any of 24 suit-sequences.)
Glue the 4 kings together. (Any of 24 suit-sequences.)
Shuffle the resulting 46-card deck.

so, 4!4!46! possible sequences with the necessary cards adjacent, out of 52! possibilities, which simplifies to 1 / 20358520.
