	Rules of Card Games: Poker Hand Ranking
		Between two fours of a kind, the one with the higher set of four cards is higher - so 3-3-3-3-A is beaten by 4-4-4-4-2.
		It can't happen in standard poker, but if in some other game you need to compare two fours of a kind where the sets of four cards are of the same rank, then the one with the higher fifth card is better.
		If you have to compare two threes of a kind where the sets of three are of equal rank, then the higher of the two remaining cards in each hand are compared, and if those are equal, the lower odd card is compared.

	Ivars Peterson's MathLand
		The rules of poker specify that a straight flush beats four of a kind, which tops a full house, which bests a flush, and so on through a straight, three of kind, two pair, and one pair.
		Thus, if a full house ranks higher than four of a kind, and a player has a wild card allowing him or her to choose either a full house or four of a kind, the full house will inevitably come up more often than four of a kind!
		For example, any wild-card hand declared as a full house can also be considered as two pair, three of a kind, or even one pair or four of a kind.

		Four Palermo retrospectives have toured European cities since 1980, and none of them has made it to the artist's beloved America.
		In the United States, meanwhile, not enough is known about either Palermo or his European context for anyone to follow Beuys's lead; the era is usually associated with Minimal and Conceptual art, and developments abroad are largely relegated to the sidelines of art history.
		Palermo left us with four distinct bodies of work, and as different as they may look on the surface, they have in common an abstraction that is always saturated with the marks of its time.
