2015 UNCO Math Contest II Problems/Problem 8
Problem
A garden urn contains 
colored beetles: 
red beetles, numbered from 
to , and 
yellow beetles, numbered from to . Beetles wander out of the urn in random order, one
at a time, without any going back in. What is the probability that the sequence of numbers
on the first four beetles to wander out is steadily increasing, that is, that the number on each
beetle to wander out is larger than the number on the beetle before and that no number is
repeated? Give your answer as a fraction in lowest terms. You may leave the numerator and
denominator in a factored form.
