Re: Permutations

Two of a kind is not the correct answer but I will have to accept it. The correct phrase is a pair.

Actually, it is.

Flush - since all of them are clubs

Re: Permutations

That is correct, but it is not considered a pair. A hand can be of only one type.

Re: Permutations

Bengali grammar? In Serbian, double negations do not cancel out!

Re: Permutations

The whole thing is a negative, no matter how many negations are in there.

Re: Permutations

Most of them will be unnecessary, but there are certain types of sentences that are hard to say without double negation. For example "I've never been there" would require double negation.

Re: Permutations

Because if you lay that hand down there will be trouble.

The hand 2c  3c Ac 5c 3c is impossible, there are not two 3c in a legitimate deck.
