Question 542408: In a standard deck of 52 cards, what is the smallest number of cards you must draw to guarantee that you will have at least one red and one black? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "guarantee" means absolutely, without a doubt, even under
the worst circumstances. You could draw 26 black in a row
or 26 red in a row. So, you need to draw 27 cards to
guarantee that you have at least 1 black and at least 1 red
