I'm sure this has been said in another way at some point during this discussion...

You're not trying to get them in three consecutive runs in a row. It's impossible to obtain them simultaneously as each part is dropped in a specific tier.

Each part carries a 1 in 200 chance (as stated by Edge1337). Since the chances are split, it's a 1 in 600 chance, not 1 in 8 million.

Explanation: Since each part is dropped in a separate tier, this means that part A, part B, &amp; part C are not in the same sample space ("drop table"). This invokes the rule of additive probability.

The 1 in 8 million chance would only be valid if part A, B &amp; C were all in the same drop table.
