Video Summary

In a scenario where Simon randomly places four cups on four saucers, each with one matching saucer, it is impossible for exactly three cups to be on their matching saucers. If three cups are correctly placed, the remaining saucer would automatically match the fourth cup, meaning all four cups would be correctly placed. Therefore, the situation where exactly three cups are on their matching saucers cannot occur.
