There are 23 ways to choose the first number and for each of those ways, there are 23 ways to choose the second number for a total of 23 times 23 ways to choose the first two numbers. Then, for each of the ways to choose the first two numbers, there are 23 ways to choose the third number. Altogether, ways.
