Mu. "0 in infinity" (not 1, it's 0). Unless you play with more than 52
cards (that's call cheating in the rural country-part, but may be it is
the rule in the self-called civilised area such as Wall street ?)

A royal flush has an ace (and king, queen...) , so that would make 5
aces in the deck. Heart, spade, diamond, club, and... what your name for
the fifth ?
