I demand a thread about people unable to do simple calculations D|
I may have been a little harsh earlier when I implied that Nepsotic was trolling. So, my apologies for that.

But, as Varrok has emphasized, and LIJI has detailed, and as Wil has acknowledged, there is a difference between computing the product of two numbers and computing the nth power of some number (and that a^b does not equal b^a).

Anyway, I'm sure everyone has grown tired of this tangent; however, to the youngsters and the those otherwise unaware, don't forsake math -- it's full of beauty and utility.

PS: here is a link to a nice simple primer on combinatorics.
