Odds of a thousand quadrillion to one

[Still Waters]

A group of whist players were amazed when they were each dealt a complete suit in an opening hand - beating mind-boggling odds of a thousand quadrillion to one.

Wenda Douthwaite, 77, and her three friends were left 'gobsmacked' when they were each dealt the hand during a recent game.

Mathematicians say the odds of each player being dealt a complete suit in the first hand of whist is a jaw-dropping 2,235,197,406,895,366,368,301,559,999 to one.
