In his blog, Ed Miller has a quiz for you to count how many river cards will give the player who is behind the win and how many will give him a chop. This is exactly the same type of quiz as the one is SSHE, he's just made another one to test yourself:

In the next post he gives the answers:

And yes, the Gunslinger he mentions who got all the answers correct first is me. 
Mods, there are ad links on Ed's blog site, so my apologies if this is unwanted.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game?

Rigged.
Was going about it very arrogantly as I read Sklansky book and more or less the same hands are there.
But got only 3 right (granted few of the wrong were silly left outs - like forgot the K's in 5, miss count the amount of K in 6) but missed few really big ones.

Did you use a program like pokerstove or some other odds calc to figure out the answers or did you do them in your head?

Isn't this just an exercise in reading the board?

Sean's right, it's just reading the board. The biggest lesson I learned from this quiz in SSHE is recognizing situations when your kicker might come into play or not, and how that affects your odds of drawing another card.

That doesn't mean you can't use an odds calculator
