It's unclear for me the extra credit problem. Does it refer to
1) the most likely outcome quadruple
2) the most likely sorted outcome, for example (0 hands,1 hands,2 hands,3 hands) can get once (1,2,3,2) and once (2,3,1,2), but we count this as the same and add the probabilities

or else? Thanks
If I'm following you correctly, it's the latter interpretation. The most likely quadruple is just (1, 3, 3, 1), which isn't that interesting.
Thanks for the win!
Thanks for sticking around post-538! :)
