It's a trick isn't it - if 2 have got their own, so must the 3rd?

Well I'd question that myself, because it has to be 0% as 2shortplanks says.

Each person has a 33 1/3 % of picking out the right umbrella but as said already if 2 have then so must the third person unless they forgot to pick it up at all.
