Let's say the number is x.

The equation will be:
1/3x + 12 = x
(one third of a number + 12 equals to the number)
Solving the equation:
subtract 1/3x from both sides:
12 = 2/3x
divide by 2
6 = 1/3x
multiply with 3
18 = x

Your number is 18, its one-third is 6, which is 12 less than the number itself.

52/52•39/51•26/50•13/49 = 0.105498... ≈ 10.55%

100% chance you draw a unique card on the first draw

51 cards left of which 13(3) = 39 are unique suit for your second draw

50 cards left of which 13(2) = 26 are unique suit for your third draw

49 cards left of which 13(1) = 13 are unique suit for your forth draw.
