The article mentions nothing about its history like when was it found and who found it? How far we have reached in proving this theory? Basically what is our progress about it? 65.128.168.2 ( talk) 03:22, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
If there is a set that contains 10 members, called set A, which contains {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, x, y, z} and there is a subset of set A that has three members, called set B, containing {x, y, z} and there is another subset of set A called set C, which contains 3 random members of set A, then the chance that one or more members of B are also members of B is 3/10 + 3/9 + 3/8, which equals 108/360 + 120/360 + 125/360. Right? And when you add them up, you get 353/360, which is approxiomately 98 percent. So the chance that a member of set B is a member of set C is almost 98 percent. Is that all right?
