80 choose 4 divided by 80 choose 20.
Im not motivated enough rn to actually do the calculations or grab a calculator.

@SW-User there's no way that's the odds. That's just the number of ways you get the desired outcome. Odds are the number of ways you get the desired outcome divided by the number of ways you do not.

@notavery nah thats the literal formula there, 80 is just mentioned bc its a trick Q

@SW-User so if you repeat this 4846 times, 4845 times the 4 cards you chose show up at the end and one time they dont. That makes no sense.
