    60% have brown eyes ... that means 40% do not have brown eyes

    40% of 10 = 0.40 (10) = 4 ... so 4 people do not have brown eyes

    probability of first pick not having brown eyes : 4/10 reduces to 2/5

    probability of 2nd pick not having brown eyes : 3/9 reduces to 1/3

    probability of neither person having brown eyes : 2/5 * 1/3 = 2/15 or 0.13 or 13%
