Hmm I think I have it...

Okay it follows the factorial formula so there are 24 choices and I want to know how many combinations of 2 there in within those 24 (with repeats) so its:
24_P_2

which is 24!/24-2! where ! is the factorial sign, therefore since the factorial for 22 and 24 will be the same up to 22 the answer is 24x23 = 552 permutatons

Then to find the number of combinations (without repeats) you need 24_C_2 which is 552/2! = 552/2 = 276

So the percentage is 1/276*100=0.36%

I think...any maths bods around??

Beef paste sandwiches.....yak yak yak. Actually I have been mentally scarred by paste sandwiches. I used to have free school meals at first school and the woman who made the sandwiches always used to give me fish paste sandwiches and I used to retch through every mouthful in tears. Dinner lady used to stand over me and make me eat them everyday....I tell you it was awful and my clearest memory of first school

And that has gone right over my head...basically you were right in the first instance.....

My mum made loads of weird meals up.......its who I got my cooking skills from.....

Also seemed to live on tinned chicken soup and beef paste sandwiches....

I remember my Dad once got a vesta curry meal with those crispy noodles that you fry.

Mam had gone out and we had our tea early but all 4 of us watched him wide eyed as he cooked his new posh food. He let us all have a little taste too.

Most of our meals consisted of Potatoes, corned beef, eggs and whatever came out of Grandads garden:A
