PROBABLITY: AN ACTUAL RARE EVENT

On Sunday afternoon August 11, 2019, at a bridge party, I was a participant in a very rare event. Four of us were drawing cards from a regular 52 card deck to see who would deal first.

The first person drew the Ace of Clubs. The second person (me) drew the Ace of Diamonds. The third person drew the Ace of Hearts. The fourth person drew the Ace of Spades.

I calculate the probability of drawing those cards in that order is 1/52 x 1/51 x 1/50 x 1/49 which is    1/6,497,400 or about 1 in 6.5 million.

I'd be interested in hearing about some other rare events.
