    Let's look at just the ways of selecting 3 jacks...

    Jack of Hearts, Jack of Spades, Jack of Diamonds
    Jack of Hearts, Jack of Spades, Jack of Clubs
    Jack of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Clubs
    Jack of Spades, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Clubs

    Use the logic to figure out all the ways of selecting 3 same face cards.
