Given a standard deck of playing cards, fin the probability of being dealt a flush.
-------------
The 1st card can be any suit.
The 2nd card is 12 of 51 remaining of the same suit.
The 3rd card is 11 of 50.
The 4th is 10/49
The 5th is 9/48
12/51 x 11/50 x 10/49 x 9/48 = 11880/5880000
= 99/49000
~ 1 in 500
