Problem
The Caterpillar owns five different matched pairs of socks. He keeps the ten socks jumbled in random order inside a silk sack. Dressing in the dark, he selects socks, choosing randomly without replacement. If the two socks he puts on his first pair of feet are a mismatched pair and the two socks he puts on his second pair of feet are a mismatched pair, then what is the probability that the pair he selects for his third set of feet is a mismatched pair?
