30 cards all together so the first turn you have a 1 out of 5 chances of getting a green card. So now there is only 29 cards left face down now you have a 6 out of 29 chance of turning over a green card. Now multiply them together
1/5 x 6/29 = 6/145. So to get 2 green cards you have a probability of 6 out of 145.
