    You have 6 red and 5 blue to start.

    6/11 * 5 /10 = 30 / 110 + (you have 2 and don't care)

    6/11 * 6/10 * 5/9 = 180 / 990 +

    6/11* 5/10 * 5/9 = 150 / 990 =

    270 + 180 + 150 = 600 / 990 = 20 / 33 Does that work for you?

    5/6 since 7 blue balls are knocked out -2 blue balls give you 5/6
