[CSC 330] A Joker-Based Logic Question

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Since a player would only have access to, meaning knowledge of, his/her 
own hand, the joker can represent any card that is not in their hand.


For example -- here are three hands from the same deal of six hands


2S 3S 4S 5S XR


10S JS QS KS XB


AS AC AD 4H 4C


in BOTH cases the jokers would be the AS to complete the straight flush 
even though the AS is in player three's hand.
