Before dealing, there are 12 face cards, and 52 cards in the deck.
(12/52) = probability of first card being a face card (leaves 11 face cards and 51 total cards)...
(11/51) = probability of 2nd card being a face card
(10/50) = prob. of 3rd face card...

In all,
P(7 face cards dealt) = (12/52)*(11/51)*(10/50)*(9/49)*(8/48)*(7/47)*(6/46)
= 3991680 / 674274182400
= 0.00000592 (approx)
Not a very likely outcome!
