Question

My children had magnetic fridge letters when they were young.  The set contained all 26 letters of the alphabet in each of four colors (red, yellow, blue, and green).  There are a total of 104 magnets in the set

 

Bryant pulls three letters from a bag containing all of the magnets without replacement (without replacement means that once a magnet has been pulled it is NOT put back into the bag before the next magnet is pulled.)
