My guess is 70.18% . I am a bit lazy so I went for a straight forward answer and work in the next comment.
P = 1 - Probability of Manga Winning (happens 3 ways)
P = 1 - 0.34(0.29) +0.34(0.22)+.39(.32) = 1 - 0.2982 = 0.7018 = 70.18%
Manga only wins in 3 ways. Any other time it is a draw or a lost such that Fang wins. Therefore the chance of Manga winning is the probability that he picks the winning type against Fang thus my answer.
30.16%
feel free to ignore my answer, I know I can't fulfil the dbuzz activity criteria atm, but these contents are fun :D
I got this answer as well. Compute the cases where Fang wins over Manga.

There was no active D.Buzz member who submitted the correct answer.
Only @minus-pi submitted the correct answer, but they had not been an active member of D.Buzz 14 days before the Day 23 Math Problem was published.
1 HIVE shall be distributed to the previous winners who had been active on D.Buzz in proportion to how many times they won.
There is no stopping those winners from sending the portion of the 1 HIVE they received to @minus-pi. π
