Default A probability question.

A set of ten objects, in which two people are supposed to choose six out of the ten, at different times, and with no knowledge of the other person's picks.

What are the chances that the two people will pick the exact same six objects? What are the chances of having five in common?

How do these probabilities change if a third person is included?
