I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Public urination is already illegal (everywhere? I feel confident in saying most places), as long as the fines/punishment for that was worse than the fees people would pay the fees (assuming a high level of enforcement, but if everyone was just peeing wherever there would be health crises so enforcement would no doubt become more stringent).

Not related to Urinetown world-building: On my way home last night I decided I wanted some ice cream and the easiest way to get it was a McDonald's drive-through. And that was quite satisfying, but since I was there I picked up 20 McNuggets because the price just seemed ridiculously low and I figured I could have some for a snack while working. Which I just did. And they were tasty enough, what I expected anyway, but I think I am hungrier after eating them. Weird.

I love McDonald's ice cream. So easy to get when driving around in the summer and the craving hits.

I remembered you mentioning it, Connie, that's what gave me the idea!

It's supposed to be quite warm tomorrow, I think ice cream is in my future.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Who wants to help me with a math problem?

I need to know how many unique combinations of three numbers I can get on a clock face (using just the hours, not all the minutes).

So very example: 12-1-2, 12-1-3, 12-1-4....1-2-5, 1-2-6 et al.

What's the formula for that and what's my total, por favor!

Dang. That is getting to be a long time.

Does order matter, Hec? Is 1-2-3 the same or different from 2-3-1?

ETA If it does, the formula will be 12!/9! or 12*11*10

If it doesn't. 12!/(3!*9!) or 12*11*10/(3*2)

That is a good question. 1-2-3 is the same as 2-3-1 in this example.

So this one?

If it doesn't. 12!/(3!*9!) or 12*11*10/(3*2)
