A man chooses an outfit from 3 different shirts, 2 different pairs of shoes, and 3 different pants. If he randomly selects 1 shirt, 1 pair of shoes, and 1 pair of pants each morning for 3 days, what is the probability that he wears the same pair of shoes each day, but that no other piece of clothing is repeated?

he will have 3x2x3 = 18 choices everyday.
since he can't repeat shirt and pants and have only 1 choice of shoes after the first day.
1st day: 3x2x3
2nd day: 2x1x2
3rd day: 1x1x1
--------
23 choices
