That's about in line with the odds of villain having a 5 in his hand 45/1.

[/ QUOTE ]No. And you can do this one in your head.

The probability of one opponent having a five is 1- 41/45 or 4/45, making the odds against it 41 to 4.

The 41/45 results from a cancellation of terms. The whole expression is really
1-C(44,4)/C(45,4) and that immediately reduces to 1-41/45.

See it?

I see it Buzz, but (not sure I understand it) doesn't that make the whole theory of blockers obsolete? Personally I hate blockers, every time I think I have them they aren't blocking squat. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
