Despite the unwieldy size, Dr Harris's pack of giant playing cards is a standard 52-card deck (consisting of 13 red hearts, 13 black clubs, 13 red diamonds, and 13 black spades). In a fit of boredom, she shuffles the cards and then deals the top five into an ordered row on her desk. What is the probability that no card is next to a card of the same colour (i.e., that the colours alternate)? Select one: a. None of the other choices O b. 1/16 c. 1875/35152 d. 325/9996 e. 325/4998
