Captain Daniel has a ship, the H. M. S Crimson Lynx. The ship is two furlongs from the dread pirate Stephanie and her merciless band of thieves.

If his ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Daniel has probability 3/4 of hitting the pirate ship. If his ship has been hit, Captain Daniel will always miss.

If her ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Stephanie has probability 1/7 of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Stephanie will always miss.

If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the pirate shoots first, what is the probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships?

    Since neither will hit the other if either has been hit, the probability of 2 hits is zero.
