Some Thoughts Alternate answer involving some math | Comment 2 of 3 |
K Sengupta's is the correct answer, but I thought I would give it a mathematical twist.

Answer:  
If 4 people are playing Poker, the odds of at least one King being drawn are about 5/6.  Even if only 2 people are playing, the odds of at least one King are about 59%.  It's even higher if you consider re-draws to replace discards.
In the jungle, the King is a Lion.  
And no one wants to be eaten by a Lion.
