document.write( "You draw a card from a deck of 52 cards and it is red.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That leaves a deck of 51 cards, 25 of which are red and 26 of which are blue.\r\n" );

document.write( "You draw a second card from that deck of 51 cards and it is red.\r\n" );

document.write( "That leaves a deck of 50 cards, 24 of which are red and 26 of which are blue.\r\n" );

document.write( "So there are 24 out of 50 ways to draw a red card on the 3rd draw.  That's a\r\n" );
