cheers for the help, but your answers dont match the answers in the back of the book

[RuiAce]

I checked with Wikipedia and I had followed the exact same methods they had. I cannot find any mistake except for one potential one in part b

If, in part b, they wanted you to distinguish a straight flush from a flush, then it might disagree with my answer. Wikipedia explicitly removes the straight flush from the calculations, so if your textbook intended for you to do so, it will match their answers.

(Note that for part a, Wikipedia assumes a four-of-a-kind with any value, not just an ace. Therefore their answer is 13 times that of what your answer should be.)

If there are further problems, please post your answers at the back of the book.
