Many 3u probability questions are really just permutation/combinations and can be done using fundamental probability:

P(event) =

number of desirable ways
number of total possibilities

I like to replace "probability" in the question with "number of ways" and treat it like a perms/combs question before actually answering the question (finding the probability).
