A combination lock 2019-08-01
From markbo:
A combination lock has 0-9 plus Y on its keypad. A code is generated by selecting 4 digits from those keys (0-9 and Y) with no repeated choices, but sequence does not matter
(i.e. 1-2-3-4 is the same as 4-3-2-1, and the same as 3-4-1-2 and counts as one combination)

How many different 4-digit codes are possible in this scenario?
