" The probability of three students ending up in the same class…is one-third times one-third times one-third, so one-twenty-seventh? Seriously random!” Takumu shook his head lightly as he walked toward the windows. “No, it’s one-ninth.” “Huh? Why?” “Why?” Chiyuri, having arrived at the same solution as Haruyuki, also raised her voice in surprise. Entrusting his sharp, tall physique to the window frame, Takumu raised his wireless glasses abruptly and explained, “If it’s the probability that all three of us would be in class C, it would be one-twenty-seventh, just like you said, Haru. But in this case, we didn’t know which class it would be. So the problem becomes the probability of all three of us ending up in class A or class B or class C, so the number is tripled and you get one-ninth. "
