Rex is having a party and has prepared party favors for his guest. As each guest arrives they are given a small paper bag of licorice and cherry jellybeans. Each bag has the same number of jellybeans, but no two bags have the same combination of cherry and licorice jellybeans.

Altogether there are 42 bags of jellybeans and 41 jellybeans in each bag. What is the probability that the first three jellybeans a guest randomly removes from her bag are the same flavor?
