If to assume that these two events are INDEPENDENT, then the probability that both events will happen is the product 

of individual/partial probabilities


    P = . = .


Without such assumption, the problem can not be solved, at all.


But validity of the assumption itself is questionable, in real life.

Let me tell you slightly more about this problem.

Behind each probability problem, there is, actually, an experiment.

At least, a MENTAL experiment.

Now, could you imagine any real life experiment behind THIS problem ?

It is why this problem can be considered as a joke ONLY : ONLY in its joking mode.
