End of ten days

"Royal...flush?" Qi Xia frowned, "What card is it specifically?"

"To be specific, it's a straight flush, but the biggest card is 'Ace.'" Qiao Jiajin said, "From 'Ten' to 'Ace', there are a total of five cards, and they are all of the same suit. This The straight flush is the largest of all the flushes, so it is called the "Royal Flush."

Qi Xia looked at the monkey shuffling across the table and thought about it based on Qiao Jiajin's words.

Can a straight flush exist in this game?

This game uses traditional festivals and the twenty-four solar terms, and there are actually four seasons very cleverly. That is to say, if you really follow the rules of "flush", you want to make up one in this game. The largest card should require five numbers, and these five numbers should all come from the same season.

At this time, all the cards appeared in Qi Xia's mind again.

There is one season from "beginning of spring" to "grain rain".

There is one season from "Beginning of Summer" to "Great Heat".

There is one season from "beginning of autumn" to "frost descent".

There is one season from "Beginning of Winter" to "Big Cold".

This step of calculation was a bit complicated and took a while. Qi Xia turned all the cards into numbers in his mind one by one, and finally added twelve "festival" cards.

"Wait a minute...Twelve Card Festivals?"

Qi Xia frowned slightly, feeling that there seemed to be more than twelve traditional festivals in his memory, but why were there some missing?

He listed all the traditional festivals he could think of.

Spring Festival, Lantern Festival.

Sheri Festival, Shangsi Festival, Cold Food Festival.

Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Hungry Ghost Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Xiayuan Festival.

Finally, there is Laba and New Year’s Eve.

Not counting the traditional festivals of various ethnic minorities, there are at least fourteen well-known festivals.

But why are there only twelve holidays in this deck?

Were two festivals excluded for some reason?

Qi Xia quickly locked on the "Qingming Festival".

This festival is very interesting. During this synodic moon, "Qingming Festival" will only be like "Qixi Festival", with the word "Qingming" written on it.

However, in addition to being a festival, "Qingming" is also one of the twenty-four solar terms, so there will only be one card with "Qingming" written on it. It can be taken from the category of traditional festivals and is not regarded as one of the festivals. , regarded as a solar term.

This leaves only one more holiday, but which of the remaining holidays is completely different from the others?

"Cold Food Festival..." Qi Xia slowly opened his eyes. In his memory, only the Cold Food Festival was completely different from other festivals.

All festivals have a specific date on the lunar calendar, but the Cold Food Festival does not.

Its date is the 105th or 106th day after the winter solstice, or the 12th day before the Qingming Festival every year.

For this special holiday, in a game that uses precise numbers to compare sizes, the existence of the "Cold Food Festival" does not allow the game to proceed smoothly, so we can only give up.

In this way, the remaining festivals are twelve. Adding all the solar terms, there are a total of thirty-six cards. Now that all the cards are clear, it should be possible to pass the "clear cards" of everyone and the "clear cards" in the center of the table. "Community card", which roughly infers the "hidden card" of the earth monkey, and the probability of victory is higher.

After listing all the solar terms and festivals in his mind, Qi Xia transformed them into groups of numbers in his mind.

The calculation amount of this step was quite complicated and it took him a lot of time.

Soon after, Qi Xia only had a large number of numbers left in her mind. All the numbers were divided into four rows according to the seasons, one for spring, summer, autumn and winter.

But after taking stock of all the cards, the situation is still a bit strange.

Combined with the "royal flush" that Qiao Jiajin mentioned at the beginning, although in theory a certain season can be regarded as a suit and the "royal flush" of that season can be made, Qi Xia looked at all the four seasons. After the date, a strange problem was discovered.

No season's date numbers can form a flush.

Since the first half of the year falls on the 21st, there will be a large number of "6", "two" and "one" in the dates, while the second half of the year will fall on the 23rd, and there will be a large number of "eight", "two" and "three". .

Relatively monotonous numbers reduce the number of possible combinations.

Qi Xia felt that the situation in front of him was a bit interesting. Although the ancients would never have expected that one day in the future, someone would use the dates of the twenty-four solar terms to gamble according to the rules of Texas Hold'em, but they seemed to deliberately avoid " Flush" possibility.

Spring lacks "five", summer lacks "three", autumn lacks "six", and winter lacks "four".

In any case, it is impossible to have five numbers arranged together from small to large in the same season, even if traditional festivals are included.

This interesting situation actually made Qi Xia feel a little wonderful, as if he was in contact with the generations who compiled the calendar thousands of years ago.

"Fist..." Qi Xia came back to his senses and asked Qiao Jiajin, "Apart from the 'Royal Flush', what is the rest of the rankings?"

Qiao Jiajin followed Qi Xia's example and touched his chin, then took his hand away in disgust, came back to his senses and said, "Royal Flush"

Qi Xia nodded after hearing this, and the flush situation could be ruled out.

"The same number in the 'Straight Flush' is the pattern you just won."

"clear."

"And "four" has two hands, with three fingers raised on the left hand and two fingers raised on the right hand. "In layman's terms, it means three plus two. One number has three bars, and the other number has a pair. "

"good."

"The next step is a "straight", which means that you don't need to pay attention to the suit, as long as the numbers can be arranged together and there are five. Next, from big to small, are the ordinary "three of a kind", "two pairs", "one" right"."

After listening, Qi Xia quickly thought about the possibilities of the various cards, and quickly frowned: "It seems that the so-called "Texas Hold'em" rules cannot be applied to this game."

"What...?"

"Some combinations that are difficult to come up with in poker can be easily achieved in "Synozygos", such as "flush"." Qi Xia explained, "If you can draw a "Winter Solstice" card, then four numbers "One, one, two, three" all come from "winter" and have a high probability of forming a "flush", so the weight of the flush should not be very high. "

"In that case..." Qiao Jiajin also narrowed his eyes, "It is true that some variations of Texas Hold'em will adjust the size and rules due to the different number of cards."

"So what we have to do next is to come up with various card types and let the monkey tell us the size of the cards."
