You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a full house is three if one type of card and two of another type ___ there are 13 types of cards\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "there are 4 ways (4C3) to get three of a type , times 13 types , gives 52 ways for three of a kind\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "there are 6 ways (4C2) to get two of a type , times 13 types , gives 78 ways to get a pair\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the one caveat is that you can't have three of a kind AND a pair of the same type\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, 13 types of three of a kind with 12 types of pairs ___ 52 * 72\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or, 12 types of three of a kind with 13 types of pairs ___ 48 * 78\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the results are the same , your 3744 number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
