Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are 43 pieces.
You are selecting without replacing the candies.
P(2dark cc cheerries in a row)= (8/43)*(7/42)
Then get 5 caramels in a row = (7/41)(6/40)(5/39)(4/38)(3/37)
Multiply all these to get the probability you want.
Cheers,
