little problem I'm trying to work out

if a standard deck of 52 cards is randomly shuffled, and then dealt out to 4 people (13 cards each), what are the odds that one person will end up with a 'straight'

i.e.

A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K

(of any suit... don't all have to be the same suit)

No, sorry: I was so bad at math at school I thought 2 + 2 = 22 

haha, way over my head but thanks anyway... those clearly math-y guys don't even seem to agree on how to answer that OP's question. think this might be a more complex problem than I hoped.
 

I hope this helps.

Of his I did not like- FRENZY (1972) and FAMILY PLOT (1976), which bored me.

Really didn't have a chance to watch it.  I was out of town at the time.

[HITCHCOCK]

HITCHCOCK is so important, they've given his name to his style. 

SHADOW OF A DOUBT is typically overlooked and easily my own favorite, except for REAR WINDOW which is so wonderfully contrived, that might be his overall best. 
PSYCHO (however) is a landmark and changed cinema forever.  Very few movies have had that kind of impact. 

VERTIGO is the perplexing one, his most personal, probably loved by me because it is 1) implausible and 2) boring.  BERNARD HERRMANN's score is astounding. 

THE BIRDS is great; I'm bored with it, alright?   

Probably a lot of gift cards.  I have several new nieces and nephews-but I guess they all like to shop at similar stores.  Other than that, most of my siblings and I are a bit too old to be doing the same kind of shopping for each other when we were younger.  So either gift cards or small gifts.
