How did you arrive at this answer? What's keeping me up is not knowing how to solve the problem.

These are not the exact cards that were drawn, yes each column is different.

I really appreciate your help by the way. This is driving me insane.

7D, 8H, 10C, 10S, 2C, 3H, 2H, 9H

3H, 4C,  6D,  4H,  9S, 2D, 8S, 5C

each card pulled is a separate instance.

No match meaning different suit and denomination.

Perhaps I'm being a little unclear. Its pretty conveluded to begin with but this is keeping me up at night. Start with 52 cards, draw 8 facing up, draw 8 facing down leaving 36 in the deck. How would I find the odds of no cards matching the 8 facing up neither suit nor denomination if I pull an additional 8 from the 36.
