1. **State the problem:** We have a spinner with four equally likely spaces: A, B, C, and D. We want to find the probability of spinning a B three times in a row.
2. **Formula and rules:** The probability of an event happening multiple times in a row, when each event is independent, is the product of the probabilities of each event. Here, each spin is independent.
3. **Calculate the probability of spinning a B once:** Since there are 4 spaces and each is equally likely, the probability of landing on B in one spin is $\frac{1}{4}$.
4. **Calculate the probability of spinning B three times in a row:**
$$
\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \times \left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \times \left(\frac{1}{4}\right) = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{64}
$$
5. **Interpretation:** The probability of spinning B three times consecutively is $\frac{1}{64}$, which means it is quite unlikely but possible.
