An urn contains 8 balls, 3 marked WIN and 5 marked LOSE. You and
another player take turns selecting a ball from the urn, randomly,
one at a time, without replacement. The first person to select the
third WIN ball is the winner. If you draw first, what is the
probability that you win? Simplify the answer.
