You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

I love McDonald's ice cream. So easy to get when driving around in the summer and the craving hits.

I remembered you mentioning it, Connie, that's what gave me the idea!

It's supposed to be quite warm tomorrow, I think ice cream is in my future.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Who wants to help me with a math problem?

I need to know how many unique combinations of three numbers I can get on a clock face (using just the hours, not all the minutes).

So very example: 12-1-2, 12-1-3, 12-1-4....1-2-5, 1-2-6 et al.

What's the formula for that and what's my total, por favor!

Dang. That is getting to be a long time.

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)

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)
