I agree with you and my note below says exactly the same thing in two
different ways. It is simpler to show 47/2 instead of 1081/46 since it
usually does not matter what the other draw card is as long as one of them
is the quad maker you want.

46 possible types of quads (the quad card and one of 46 kickers)--- In vpFREE@yahoogroups.com, "Howard Stern" <howard.w.stern@e...>
