Thank you.......you realize that there are 132 possible combinations.....?
12! It's an algebraic permutation
(12-2)!
12 objects 2 choices no repetition must be in order
How about thinning it down a little for those who entered...... Who got 1 choice correct
Who got 2 choices correct but in the wrong order Who got 1 choice correct but wrong order who got 1 choice in the correct order
Just a thought........
LOL - I did the math on this last night too! (Well, in all fairness, I had calculatorsoup do it for me, but I had to plug in the numbers...almost broke a sweat doing it! LOL) |

Here's a quick hint.
One person got one of them right, that person is the only one to get one of them right so far.

Here's a quick hint. One person got one of them right, that person is the only one to get one of them right so far. If I figured this correctly (that's a BIG "if" LOL), under these parameters, if one person got only one of them right, then these are the possibilities for that one correct number: If the 1st number was guessed correctly, the 1st number has to be 2, 5, 8, or 10 If the 2nd number was guessed correctly, the 2nd number has to be 2 or 6 * I had to put an Excel spreadsheet together for this! LOL * Eleven has yet to be chosen as 1st or 2nd number as I'm posting this * Both Four and Twelve were chosen for the first times AFTER you made this statement, but you were aware of those picks as you "liked" their posts, but didn't indicate whether correct guesses or not...

The first one to sell has been guessed 3 times.
The second one to sell has been guessed twice.
