RE: Brainsteem Mathematics Challenges: Factoring Seconds

in #mathematics6 years ago (edited)

I thought that at first but I think it only works if all the items are indistinguishable, which they're not. You have to consider the fact that grouping something (x x y) (y y x) is slightly different from (y y y) (x x x) even though they both contain 3 items each.
