CN-SMO 2006 Problem 3
There is a standard deck of cards without jokers. The deck consists of four suits(diamond, club, heart, spade) which include thirteen cards in each. For each suit, all thirteen cards are ranked from " " to " " (i.e. ). A pair of cards is called a "straight flush" if these two cards belong to the same suit and their ranks are adjacent. Additionally, " " and " " are considered to be adjacent (i.e. "A" is also considered as " "). For example, spade and spade form a "straight flush"; diamond and diamond are not a "straight flush" pair. Determine how many ways of picking thirteen cards out of the deck such that all ranks are included but no "straight flush" exists in them.
