From a well-shuffled pack of cards (whatever that means!), what is the probability of finding JUST two cards, of the same rank (any rank), next to each other?

Or maybe I should have worded it as " what is the probability of finding AT LEAST two cards of the same rank next to each other?"

Either way, I have no idea how to tackle this, but my suspect intuition tells me the probability is > 0.5 from my son's practical experience.
Is this an impossible ask or are my probability skills waning?

My fiance is a wonderful man, but he is also an alcoholic. He manages to keep his drinking confined to the late night hours, but he drinks himself into a stupor to go to sleep every night. He goes to work every day, and he spends most of his life sober. He is very healthy and responsible in every other aspect of his life. He has tried to quit in the past, but always relapses. He has told me that he doesn't think he can quit, so if I marry him I take him as he is. He is nearly perfect in every other way, but I'm worried about how his addiction might affect our life together...should I learn to live with his habit and marry him anyway, or should I say goodbye to the man of my dreams because I am afraid of his addiction? Please help!

I recall a very good volleyball game that had animated violence. It was released most likely for the NES console in the early '90s. The publisher may have been Data East or Tecmo. Help me find a name for this one!

It says on my box of eggs they're from hens "able to roam freely during daylight hours." I'm suspicious of this claim. They're not just kept in slightly larger cages, are they? I'm not a chicken-hugger, just curious...

Many people gain a little incite into what party that most caters to them and than simply follows party line. Defending the ones elected in there party to the death regardless of what happens.
Is this loyalty or stupidity?
