= 1- (5 x 2 x 1) 6 3 2 P (LLL) = 1 - 5 18 P (LLL) = 13 18 I also found the probability of A, B and C winning in Round 1: P (A) wins = 1 6 P (B) wins = 5 x 1 = 5 6 2 18 P (C) wins = 5 x 2 x 1 = 5 6 3 2 18 In the second round the probabilities of winning will be different, as you must say that no one won in the last round.
