Here is the answer and you can figure out where all the bits and pieces come from and what assumptions have been made:

$\frac{ \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{{4 \choose 2}}{{4 \choose 2}} }{\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{{2 \choose 2}}{{4 \choose 2}} + \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{{3 \choose 2}}{{4 \choose 2}} + \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{{4 \choose 2}}{{4 \choose 2}} }$

thanx a lot ...mr. fantastic
