  1. If you factor in the fact that not all initials are used equally (letters like Q and Z are not as common), you improve your odds slightly.  It also helps to ask their name before you guess.

    On a purely mathematical level there are 26^3 English letter combinations or about one chance in 17, 576


  2. Depends on the alphabets used. In finnish we have 29 alphabets, so possible combinations of three letters are

    29^3 And if you want to do it in one try, chance is  1 out of 29^3.

  3. your percentage you might be able to is

         %0.17576

  4. about a 5 in 100,000 chance
