The probability that, in a bridge deal, one of
the four hands has all hearts is approximately [math]6.3 \times 10^{-12}[/math]. In a city with about 50,00 bridge players the resident probability expert is called on the average once a year (usually late at night) and told that the caller has just been dealt a hand of all hearts. Should she suspect that some of these callers are the victims of practical jokes?
