Well let's number the outcomes and then we'll count
them and see how many there are:

     outcome no. 1 = BBB
     outcome no. 2 = BBG
     outcome no. 3 = BGB
     outcome no. 4 = BGG
     outcome no. 5 = GBB
     outcome no. 6 = GBG
     outcome no. 7 = GGB
     outcome no. 8 = GGG

I count eight outcomes, don't you?
Did you know this problem was just a baby problem?
Or were you just jerking our chain? LOL
