Math Question for football pool
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know where I can obtain software that would enable me to print out all 4,960 3 team football combinations using the 32 NFL teams (Order does not matter), it would be used for a pool I'm running.
Thanks

I want to make sure I understand
Team A, Team B, Team C
Team A, Team B, Team D
Team A, Team B, Team E
.
.
.
Team B, Team C, Team D
Team B, Team C, Team E
etc.......

Correct Frank
In other words
Team A, B, C and C, B, A would be no good.
There are 4,960 combo's of the example YOU gave.
Another example, if say you bought a ticket with Team A, Team B and Team C, you would be the only person with that 3 team combination. (No 2 tickets would have the same combination)

Mets, this could be done with excel, but I'm not good enough at programming to figure it out.. All I have is a program that spits out permutations, whereas you're looking for combinations. You could post this question on the message boards at excelforumdotcom and someone there might be able to give you insight into how to go about it.
