formulas for each – 10 seconds hint: order matters for permutations
I use the calculator Combination is the beginning part of bernulli formula 
nice strange mee too!
Yep. Just remember combos needed for bernulli and remember both are on your calc!

HP12c??? oh yeah, i see the N! now. cool – can someone show me how to do 5 apples picked from 15 objects on the HP12c??? combo or permutation, whatever thanks
nPr = n! / (n-r)! so if you have a way of doing factorial on any calc, you should be able to do this one. nCr = n! / [(n-r)! * r!] again same thing. if you have a way of doing factorial on any calc, you should be able to do this one. CP
3,003 combos 360,360 permutations
