Picking numbers (Posted on 2015-07-17) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Bernardo randomly picks 3 distinct numbers from the set (1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9) and arranges them in descending order to form a 3-digit number.
Silvia randomly picks 3 distinct numbers from the set (1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8) and also arranges them in descending order to form a 3-digit number.

What is the probability that Bernardo's number is larger than Silvia's number?
