    I'm still trying to wokr out the % if two people select the same choice and each have an option from 24 - surely its less than one person selecting 1/24 because the chance of that is 4% - arghhhhh I hate fractions and limited pools - I need to work out the total number of combinations from 24 x 2

    Okay if there were 4 options then there would 10 combinations so it would be 1/10 = 10%

    Now how do I scale up to 24 - arghhhhhhh

    :confused:you got me there....I only do accounts and thats only cos I like doing jigsaw puzzles....

    Yep there are 48 options but how many combinations from those options (since each one is repeated once) ahhh I remember fractions and sets is what I need *Becky goes off to find out*

    And yes I am fascinated by the history of the tube - nothing wrong with the transport museum (apart from the fact it aint free like the railway mus in York)

    Also I saw the orient express this morning at Victoria :D

    I used to live right next door to a level crossing and every sunday all the train spotters would park up and wait for the steam trains to come along....I loved it and I miss the sound of trains trundling past...
