Reese, Greg, and Brad meet once a week for coffee. They each have their favorite café and, to be fair, they use randomization to choose where they will meet. Each person has a colored marble: red (R) for Reese, green (G) for Greg, and blue (B) for Brad. Each week, all three marbles are mixed well in a bag and a marble is selected. The favorite café of the person associated with the selected marble is chosen for that week’s meeting. What is the probability that Reese will get to pick the café for at least one of the first two weeks?
