    that's what is being discussed here myobie.

    but why do you assume there are 2 elements choosen at a time? find that a bit confusing.

    in that image every single element in the left column is combined with every single columm in the right column. so it's not n!/(n-k)! nor is it n!/(n-k)!*k!

    now, imo, if you have 50 objects every single object can be in 50 different places, thus 50! of possible combinations. then again, whatever formula i use, i never ever get that kircher number folkert posted. maybe folkert can elaborate.
