MHB Bridge Game: Does Luck Matter?

Click For 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?

Thread 'Erroneously finding discrepancy in transpose rule'

Obviously, there is something elementary I am missing here. To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so the transpose of a scalar, considered as (or isomorphic to) a one-entry matrix, should stay the same, including if the scalar is a complex number. On the other hand, in the isomorphism between the complex plane and the real plane, a complex number a+bi corresponds to a matrix in the real plane; taking the transpose we get which then corresponds to a-bi...
