Solution
Probability that all 3 pieces are highlighted:
P(1st piece highlighted) = 1/4.
P(2nd piece highlighted) = 4/5.
P(3rd piece highlighted) = 1/3.
P(all highlighted) = 1/4 × 4/5 × 1/3 = 1/15.

Odds of choosing at least one unhighlighted piece:
P(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 1 - P(all highlighted) = 1 - 1/15 = 14/15.
Odds(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 14:(15 - 14) = 14:1.

Solution
Probability that all 3 pieces are highlighted:
P(1st piece highlighted) = 2/5.
P(2nd piece highlighted) = 4/5.
P(3rd piece highlighted) = 4/5.
P(all highlighted) = 2/5 × 4/5 × 4/5 = 32/125.

Odds of choosing at least one unhighlighted piece:
P(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 1 - P(all highlighted) = 1 - 32/125 = 93/125.
Odds(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 93:(125 - 93) = 93:32.

Solution
Probability that all 3 pieces are highlighted:
P(1st piece highlighted) = 3/5.
P(2nd piece highlighted) = 1/3.
P(3rd piece highlighted) = 2/4 = 1/2.
P(all highlighted) = 3/5 × 1/3 × 1/2 = 1/10.

Odds of choosing at least one unhighlighted piece:
P(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 1 - P(all highlighted) = 1 - 1/10 = 9/10.
Odds(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 9:(10 - 9) = 9:1.

Solution
Probability that all 3 pieces are highlighted:
P(1st piece highlighted) = 2/5.
P(2nd piece highlighted) = 2/6 = 1/3.
P(3rd piece highlighted) = 2/6 = 1/3.
P(all highlighted) = 2/5 × 1/3 × 1/3 = 2/45.

Odds of choosing at least one unhighlighted piece:
P(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 1 - P(all highlighted) = 1 - 2/45 = 43/45.
Odds(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 43:(45 - 43) = 43:2.

P(2nd piece highlighted) = 5/6.
P(3rd piece highlighted) = 1/3.
P(all highlighted) = 5/7 × 5/6 × 1/3 = 25/126.

Odds of choosing at least one unhighlighted piece:
P(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 1 - P(all highlighted) = 1 - 25/126 = 101/126.
Odds(at least one piece unhighlighted) = 101:(126 - 101) = 101:25.
