MHB Bridge Game: Does Luck Matter?

AI Thread Summary
In a Bridge game with four players, one player has not received any Aces after three turns, raising the question of whether this player has a right to complain about luck. The game consists of 32 cards, with each player receiving 8 cards per turn. The discussion suggests solving the problem first through combinations and then using the Bernoulli scheme. Participants are encouraged to share their progress or thoughts to facilitate better assistance. The focus remains on understanding the role of luck in card distribution within the game.

4 people are playing the Bridge Game, out of 4 players 1 player hasn't received a single Ace after third turn, does he have the right to complain that he doesn't have luck?
To clarify some things - There are 32 cards (4 types), each of the four players get 8 cards for each turn.
The problem is supposed to be solved firstly using combinations and after that using Bernouli scheme, thanks in advance

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
