You know for sure that the top 3 in the country are included there in the top 6 that you're working with. So you only need the probability that you'll pick the correct 3, in the correct order. / / / From a group of 6, there are (6 x 5 x 4) = 120 ways to select and arrange a group of 3. Only one of them is the correct one. So the probability is 1/120 . That's. 5/6 of 1%.
