Harmonic Harness (Posted on 2013-11-27) Difficulty: 4 of 5
Three positive integers are chosen at random without replacement from 1,2,....,72. What is the probability that the numbers chosen are in harmonic sequence?

Order of choice doesn't matter. For example, 6-3-2 would qualify as numbers in harmonic sequence.

Bonus Question:

Generalize this result (in terms of n) covering the situation where three positive integers are chosen at random without replacement from 1,2,...,n.
