Assuming that we are drawing five cards from a standard52car

Assuming that we are drawing five cards from a standard52-card deck, how many ways can we obtain a straight flush starting with an eight (8,9,10,J and Q, all of the same suit)?

Solution

This can only happen once for EVERY suit.

However, there are 4 suits that this can happen.

Thus, there 4 (FOUR) ways to get a straight flush starting with 8. [ANSWER, 4]
