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)
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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)

V-dub, it's been so long since you were here that your tagline is MARRIED!!! Seems like you might want to update it. :-)
About 19 years ago I was on a panel at Lunacon talking about current SF/F on TV, and about the time we were wrapping up, I remembered to mention that a TV series of Buffy The Vampire Slayer would be starting up soon, that while the movie had been uneven, the adaptation was produced by the original writer, so we could hope.
(Almost the best prediction I ever made -- the best was the first time I saw some kids playing a game of Magic The Gathering, and when they explained how it worked, I said, "The creators are going to make a million bucks!")

I'm sure quite soon the board will hear about ltc's and Stitch's plans to take over the world with their combined cuteness.
