I just did some math and Ill admit statistics are not my forte, but isn't this the odds of this happening? I assume that you don't look at other guesses, and you ignore the barber, because that would make it exponentially higher, and assume they are all different dates... They made the Mercury dime for 27 years so

(1/27)*(1/26)*(1/25)= 5.69e-5 *100 = 0.005% of getting all three right on a guess

OR

a 1 in 17550 chance of getting all three correct! Someone smarter correct this otherwise I am playing the lottery tomorrow lol.
