Question

A sequence is a hand consisting of five consecutive cards of any suit(e.g., 5♥−6♥−7♠−8♦−9♣). An ace may be either high (as in10-J-Q-K-A, or low, as in A-2-3-4-5, but can’t “wrap around” (Q-K-A-2-3 is not a valid sequence). How many different sequence hands are possible?

(b) How many hands consist of cards that are all of the same suit?(

c) A straight flush has both of these properties – a sequence all of the same suit. How many different straight flushes are possible?
