Default Re: Studugi question

There are four of these groups of 39 cards--one for each suit that we omit. So we have to multiply that figure by four. But then we have double and treble counting, because the group consisting of spades, hearts & diamonds may produce a hand consisting of the seven lowest hearts, as might the groups that omit spades and diamonds.
