The Colorful Tennis Doubles

Sunday, January 20th, 2019

The Happy Valley Tennis Doubles Tournament was being sponsored by the Bronson Multi T-shirt Company, Inc. which was supplying free T-shirts in three colors, red, gold and blue, that were dispensed free at random by a machine in the lobby.

Having been informed of this, Calvin and Jude were discussing the various combinations of T-shirt colors the players could appear with.

“I’ll bet you 100 dollars that there will be at least two players among the four players with a red T-shirt on the court within three double team changes,” said Calvin, taking a large bite out of his hot dog.

“Well, I say that two players will show up with one T-shirt color and two players with a different T-shirt color within five double team changes,” said Jude, fishing out another potato chip.

“Ok,” said Calvin, “whichever of these occurs first, wins 100 dollars, plus pays the bill at the restaurant celebration later.”

“Hmm… Ok, deal,” said Jude and shook on it.

Who would you say is most likely to be paying the restaurant bill later?
