Answer to Question #25152 in Statistics and Probability for Avi

Question

This happened to me and I wanted to see if anyone can give me a probability. I am an Engineer adept in math and still have no idea wehre to start.

I was playing 3 way war with 2 friends. The first card of the game, my buddy flips over a 7 and me and another friend flip an Ace, we lay out 3 cards, both flip over a 5, start to freak out a little bit, lay out 3 more cards, both flip over a queen, I am freaking, Ive never seen this, lay down 3 more cards, BOTH FLIP OVER A 3, cant believe my eyes. we lay out 3 more cards, at this point its the last card we have, I throw a 9, he throws an Ace and wins. It was unfathomable
