Take the 2-minute tour ×  Ok, game is as follow, with spanish
cards (you can do it with poker cards using the As as a 1)  You
shuffle, put the deck face bottom, and start turning the cards
one by one, saying a number each time you turn a card around
---> 1, 2, 3; 1, 2, 3; etc. If when you say 1 a 1 comes out, you
lose, same with 2 and 3. If you finish the deck without losing,
you win.  I know some basics of probabilities, but is there a
way to calculate the probability of winning the game, given a
random shuffled deck?  share|improve this question Can you name
any number $1 \to 13$ while turning the cards? I.e. whats the
range of the numbers you may name? –  JohnWO Jun 7 '13 at 17:28
Is the player allowed to say 1, 2, or 3 at random or does he/she
always have to follow the sequence 1,2,3,1,2,3,...? –  iX3 Jun 7
'13 at 17:52 If one wants something more general; If one could
name any numerical value of a card in the deck, i.e.: If there
are 52 cards in the deck, divided over 4 suits, which range from
$1 \to 13$
