I'm not quite sure where the numbers are coming from - can you break down the Level 3 equations a little more to help me understand how to figure out the 4th and 5th?
I appreciate the solutions, but it doesn't help to be able to solve these things on my own later

I'm creating a new game where there are five levels. Each level contains one dollar sign (a WIN) and the rest of the spaces are X (a STRIKE).
There are 5 levels, starting with 2 on the first level, up to 6 on the last level.
You must find the dollar sign / win on each level before you can advance, and the game is over when you have found three strikes.
I'm trying to figure out the odds of winning on each level, and the overall game.
I know combinatorics are involved, but just not sure how to figure it all out.
Any help would be appreciated!
