The Game:
Directions:
- Lay out six cards.
- Ask someone. Which two cards will you try to draw?
- After they pick their two cards and tell them to you, then pick up all six cards, shuffle them, deal them face down, and ask them to pick any two.
- If either of the cards they pick are one or both of the two cards they called, then they win.

Hint: Pretend their cards (card1 and card2) are two aces 9ace 1 and ace 2). Put all the possible combinations of what those two cards might be, from the six cards, in the table. The rest of the cards could be filled in, but the table below has enough information, because they only draw two cards so the first two rows can represent those cards. What? Think about it...
After you are convinced that the two cards (aces 1 and ace 2) have nine ways of winning. See if you can also see that anyother pair also has nine ways of winning. Wild!
