Pirate Pearl sits in a hidden cove counting her treasure of 50 dazzling precious stones of three distinct colours. There are more fiery red stones than cool blue ones, and more blue stones than verdant green ones. If you were to pluck 3 stones at random, the chance of picking one of each colour is exactly one-tenth. Can you figure out how many stones of each colour there are?
