    Ann and Bo are playing the following game on squared sheets of paper. Each player marks a 10×1010\times10 square on her own sheet of squared paper. In this large square, they colour seven 1×11\times1 lattice squares blue, and another 14 lattice squares red. The players cannot see each other's coloured squares. The game starts by Ann naming a pair of numbers (i,j)(i,j) where 1≤i,j≤101 \le i,j \le 10 are positive integers. (For example, (5,2)(5,2) means the lattice square at the intersection of row 5 and column 2 of the 10×1010\times10 square.) If the pair (i,j)(i,j) determines a coloured field on Bo's sheet of paper then Bo will answer hit'', otherwise she will say no hit''. Then the game continues by switching roles: Bo names a pair of numbers and Ann answers. What is the probability that in the third round of the game Ann will hit a blue square and Bo will hit a red square provided that in the first two rounds neither Ann nor Bo had any hits?
