Just wondering if someone can give me an example of how prob(x) is used in a pick() situation.

I'm aware the reference gives an example, but the format is incomprehensible to me, and I don't use that type of format.

Example from the Reference

obj/food
  verb/eat()
    usr << pick (
        "[usr] eats \a [src].",
      prob(50)
        "[usr] devours \a [src].",
      prob(25)
       "[usr] wolfs down \a [src]."
    )
    del(src)


What I want

pick("green" prob(50), "red" prob(30))

Since those are line breaks in the reference, I'd assume you'd use a semicolon for one-liners.
pick(prob(50); "green", prob(30); "red")

// expanded
pick(
 prob(50); "green",
 prob(30); "red")

// expanded more
pick(
 prob(50)
  "green",
 prob(30)
  "red")
