You and your friends are playing a game where there are 10 cards: 5 are red, 3 are blue, and 2 are green. Each player draws one card without replacement. The player who draws a green card is the winner. Assuming that there is always at least one green card in the deck, what should be the number of green cards so that it would not matter for you to draw first or second? Justify your choice on the basis of probability.
