Probability question
a man asks person 1 to pick 1 of 6 colors and 1 of 6 numbers
he asks that person to think of the color and the number and then he guesses them both correctly.
then, he turns to person 2 and asks them to do the same thing, he then guesses the color and number correctly again.
what are the odds of this actually happening?
the numbers were 31 32 33 34 35 36
and the colors were R O Y G B P
I doubt it's important but just in case it is, these were the selections;
person 1 picked 33-green
person 2 picked 31-red
*edit- I know it's not just 1/72, I'm thinking it's 1/1296, you have to remember that they were selection 100% accurately twice in a row.
i learned probability ages ago but i forget when to add fractions or multiply them, anyway, thanks.
