-If you have a telephone number display from 1-9 ie:
1,2,3
4,5,6
7,8,9
You press a random number and note it down, then randomly move to an adjacent number (no diagonals) note that one down as well and then move again to a random adjacent number and write that down.
Combine the numbers ie number1, number2, number3 eg (569) what is the probability that the number is divisible by 2?
