[TR] length of string - long

So if, as I meant to say, Bob says "at least one of my cars is a TR3", then there are three possibilities:  two TR3s, a TR3 followed by a TR2, or a TR2 followed by a TR3 - so he has a 1:3 chance of having 2 TR3s.

Joe's first car was a TR3, so he has only a 50% of having two TR3s.

So the answer is Joe
