Re: integers
It doesn't matter what the first integer is, but after that the next two have to match it.
The probability of the second integer matching the first is 1/10, and the third one has the same probability.
Therefore, the probability of all three matching is 1/100.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
