problem

An entry in a grid is called a saddle point if it is the largest number in its row and the smallest number in its column. Suppose that each cell in a 3×33 \times 3 grid is filled with a real number, each chosen independently and uniformly at random from the interval [0,1][0,1]. Compute the probability that this grid has at least one saddle point.

An entry in a grid is called a saddle point if it is the largest number in its row and the smallest number in its column. Suppose that each cell in a $3 \times 3$ grid is filled with a real number, each chosen independently and uniformly at random from the interval $[0,1]$. Compute the probability that this grid has at least one saddle point.
