By the way anyone want to guess how calculations would be needed to work out the original question? Would you say trillions? 10^12

I would guess that somewhere around 10,000 randomly generated hands that fit the criteria would get you an answer to within a percent or so... that's just me, though...

No, he really didn't.

Why are you trying to mangle the original question? - matmat

Simply because that sub-question IS ANSWERABLE !!
Some part of THE answer is apparently TO YOU not responsive.
