Albino X het albino -->
1/2 albino
1/2 normal het albino
hypo X normal -->
1/2 hypo
1/2 normal
motley X motley -->
1/4 super motley
2/4 motley
1/4 normal
So the probability of a sunglow is 1/4, and the probability of an albino super motley is 1/8, which isn't bad. (These are what to expect. Actual results may differ.)
If motley and hypo assort independently, the probability of a hypo super motley would be 1/8. I've seen the claims that hypo motley X normal produce only hypos and motleys, but I haven't seen any numbers to back up the claims. So I am not convinced that the claims are true. But even if the claims are not true, I'd guesstimate the chance of a hypo super motley at somewhere in the 1/50 to 1/1000 range.
Good luck.
