Problema Solution

How many cards must I draw from a deck of 52 cards to be certain that I have at least 5 of the same color if the deck has 13 blue, 13 green, 13 red, and 13 white cards?

Answer provided by our tutors

in the worst case i will have 4 cards of each color or total of: 4*4 = 16 cards


thus if a draw 17 cards, no matter the color of the drawn card, after that drawing, I will most certainly have 5 cards of the same color.
