:)... Lets say you have two players a and b one card is distrbuted to each player if the card with a is higher then a wins else a loses.
probability of a winning: total num of cards with combos where a wins a is the first player: 2-1,3-1...13-1 3-2.......13-2 .. 13-12 this sum equals = (13+12+...1)*4, 4 suites are possible therefore probability=sum/52C2. I dont think it is half in this case. similarly extending for 3 players with 2 cards each i dont think its going to be 1/3 becoz of the condition given. I might be wrong. Please correct me if so.
