I remembered you mentioning it, Connie, that's what gave me the idea!
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's supposed to be quite warm tomorrow, I think ice cream is in my future.
HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY TO BUFFY AND COMPANY!
Y'all, we are old.
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)
Does order matter, Hec? Is 1-2-3 the same or different from 2-3-1?
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)
Yes.
Boo!
