  1. 1 in 26 hardly a hard question


  2. 2 in 54

    You people forget the Jokers

  3. 2 in 52 or 1in 26

    52 cards in the pack, 2 black kings

  4. A 2 in 52 chance

  5. for the first black king the odd is 1in 2 for black &1in 13 for a king so 1 in 26 for the 2nd black king is 1in 24 , so in total is i came out 1 in 400 chance to hit 2 balck king`s(king kong)  400 to1 that`s the odd casino normaal should give you for that.

  6. The 1 in 26 answers are correct but if you were looking for percentages then you have a 3.8% chance of picking a black king from a 52 card deck on the first try. 96.2% that you won't pick a black king.

  7. 2 black kings in a deck of 52 cards.

    2 in 52, or 1 in 26 (simplified).

  8. 52 cards in total

    2 black kings in the pack

    =2 in 52

    = 1 in 26

  9. Am I missing something here?

  10. The odds are 25/1 against.

    Everyone else is listing the probability, which is 1 in 26. Same thing, but no casino would offer you odds of "1 in 26", they'd say 25/1.

  11. 1 in 26

  12. 52 cards in a deck - 2 black kings

    teh odds of you picking a black king from the deck are 2 in 52 or  1 in 26.
