You have a box of chocolates that contains 59 pieces of which 37 are solid chocolate, 15 are filled with cashews, and 7 are filled with cherries. All the candies look exactly alike. You select a piece, eat it, select a second piece, eat it, and finally eat one last piece. Find the probability of selecting a solid chocolate piece followed by two cherry-filled chocolates. Round your answer to three decimal places.
