Default Re: Stupid question from a math illiterate

a combinatorics book would also be of great help. i took a class in combinatorial enumerations in college, and the whole class was calculating things like this. it has a silly name, but the class was really helpful and was based on counting out different combination possibilities. i'm sure if you read through the first few chapters of a related book it would help a great deal. good luck.
