During the lockdown period, many families got bored of watching TV all the time. Out of
these families, one family of 6 members decided to play a card game. 17 cards numbered
1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 17 are put in a box and mixed thoroughly. One card is drawn by one
member at random and other family members bet for the chances of drawing the
number either prime, odd or even etc.
