[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The probability of picking a 6 on the first card is 1/3, since there is one 6 out of three total cards.

If the first card was a 6, then there are two cards remaining (5 and 7) that are less than 7 out of a total of three cards.

So the probability of picking a 6 and then picking a number less than 7 is (1/3) * (2/3) = 2/9.

Therefore, the probability is 2/9.
