OLD 55 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Thanks Laurie and Jeff. Good to be back. We covered 2,900 kilometres (approx.1800 miles). There's no place like home. The Wedding went fine, but I didn't know most of the music at the Reception, except AC/DC. I didn't dance. And except for the Bridal Waltz, the rest of the dancing seemed to be a non contact sport. I'm getting old. Edited May 10, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Radhi, of course I'm playing. Thanks cyber. That's fair enough for those who've recently joined, but I'll only use my nominations though. It'll be tough enough for me to pick my 50 favorites from them! Anyway, I'll start downloading them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Thanks Radhi. Better put me in earlier than all of you kids though. At 67 you never know..... No, it'll take me a week or so to find them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 You all enjoy rubbing in the fact that I don't have the faintest clue about maths, don't you? I just stole that from Chris... I still don't understand why 50*10 is not right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I won't explain it because I lose my patience when explaining concepts Our next victim? A lovely dame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hmmm. I'm a dame. But I've recieved no pt, so I'm assuming it ain't me .... Good thing, I keep changing the songs on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_s_1987 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 there's even more 50! = 3.04140932 × 10^64 who's our next victim? That's true if you are looking at the order of all 50 songs - I was only counting the top ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 oh yeah, then it would be 50!/40! =3.7276043 × 10^16 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Yes indeed... for number of permutations the top ten can have. 50C10 (50!/40!/10!) gives the number of combinations, and 50P10 (50!/40!) gives the number of permutations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 oh yeah, been a while since I had that kind of math Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
