Random question...at a full ring poker table, what’s the chances that the players directly to your left and right share one of your whole cards? For example...I’m in seat 5 and my hand is Q10 offsuit. How often or what percentage of the time will seat 4 OR seat 6 have either a Q or a 10? What’s the equation to quantify this?

Not sure but I think it’s 50%, either they have it or they don’t

About 41%

I tried to calculate it. May have made some mistakes. 50% was actually a very good guess disko

i think it's ~39.6%

When you have a pocket pair, there is ~84.5% chance that none of your neighbours' 4 cards will be either of the 2 out of 50 that are same rank as your hole cards.

When you have a non-pair, there is a ~58.9% chance that none of the your neighbours' 4 cards will be any of the 6 out of the 50 that are the same ranks as your hole cards.

You get a pocket pair ~5.9% of the time, unpaired ~94.1% of the time.

(5.9% x 84.5%) + (94.1% x 58.9%) = 60.4% chance of missing

1 - 60.4% = 39.6% chance of hitting.

Isn't this as simple as 1- ((6/50) + (6/48)) or 75.5%?

I guess not sure why you really care as there are 6 other players at the table too.

Assuming you want to count the times they have more than 1 of your cards between them:

Chance they have none of your cards is 44/50 * 43/49 * 42/48 * 41/47 = 58.9%
Chance they have one or more is 41.1%

Unless you have a pocket pair... which happens 6% of the time... see above!
