10 Ultimate cribbage hands (Posted on 2006-07-18) |
|
Consider laying out 10 sets of 4 cards plus a turn-up, from a single deck of cards, forming what might appear to be 10 cribbage hands including a different turn-up for each. (Two cards will be left over.)
How could these sets be arranged to maximize the sum of the scores of these hands?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cribbage may provide you with some guidance.
Note: Each hand has its own turn-card so a single jack in each hand could be the right jack.
