If you randomly choose your character and tool, what is the probability that you won't be a hobbit or use an umbrella?

If the amount of each type are the same then you multiply 2/3 of 333=222 times 4/5 of 555 = 444

222x444=98658 out of the total possibilities (333x555)

the probability is 98658/184815
