For 1-2-3 it's 5^3 again, because each digit/number occurs 5 times.
Not 1...one occurs 6 times... [smiley=skull_laugh.gif]
And yep, Kari's right about the planets.

So what? It still works out to 6%. Unless the question is stupidly and ambiguously asked and you're looking for 9%.
I forgot my sig.

I think this is safe to say.
Except, what is "ambiguosuly"?

It's his ambiguous spelling.

No, it was a very unambiguous misspelling.

Yes. You draw from the 16 available numbers...or digits or ciphers or whatever.
So when you pick one, 15 are left...

It's still 6%.
But as I said, I'm not even sure if my understanding is remotely close to the actual teachings.
What about #4?
SO!
Huh? Hm.

No, I think it's more like 29%.
(5/16*6/15*5/14)*6 + 5/16*4/15*3/14
The trick is that there are 27 possible combinations, one of them is 2/2/2 but six are 1/2/3.

Indeed it is. Approx. 29% anyway. [smiley=bowdown.gif]
You'd better post your explanation before Elfie goes insane.
Edit: I see you did :-*

It's "combinations", huh? Dammit.

I guess I didn't make that up myself. It was somewhere in my mind like I have already seen this one...but does it make sense? Is there such a thing as a 3 o'clock tea?
@Michal
No, it's permutations, right?

I know. It's just what I have to learn right now. Not solving this doesn't cheer me up too much I must say. :-/

I've never seen it before...it was just a wild guess...
Especially since it's called 5 o'clock tea.

Really, I thought it was the 4 o'clock tea.
