The
Hole Card Problem
You
give a spectator a sealed envelope. You hold a second envelope.
Inside this second envelope, you say, there are five cards - a Royal
Flush in Spades. A spectator shouts out the name of any one of the
five cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack or Ten. You cleanly open the
envelope and tip out the five cards. One of the cards has its centre
missing - leaving a large hole. The spectator holding the sealed
envelope opens it and tips out the missing centre piece. This fits
the hole in the freely named card.
