6 character strings using 1, 5 and 9 |
2014-06-15 |
 |
From Kevin: How many 6 digit combinations (i.e., 159159) can be made from 3 different numbers (i.e., 1,5, and 9)? The numbers will obviously have to repeat. A link to a calculator that could list all the combinations would be helpful. I've come across these sites: http://textmechanic.com/Permutation-Generator.html, and http://textmechanic.com/Combination-Generator.html , but am not sure how to use them for my specific case. Thanks. Answered by Penny Nom. |

Each station will accommodate exactly 2 teams to compete with each other at a time.
Each of the 20 teams needs to compete at each of the 10 stations exactly one time.
Here's the catch I cannot solve: how to schedule it so that each team plays EVERY OTHER TEAM once and only once, while never repeating a station. Answered by Victoria West. |
