Take a scientific calculator. Enter the number of tunes (22) and press "!" after it. The answer is the total number of possible combinations, assuming that none of the set of 22 are the same. There's a formula for how the "!" key works, but I can't (nor need to) remember it.
1.12x10^21 is the right answer. |
So skip and myself were right
22! (or 22 nPr 22) do the trick on my Texas Instruments-83
Be aware that 22! is the same as calculating 22x21x20x19x...x2x1, for the not-so-geniuses, only difference being that the scientific calc gives 1.12x10^21 as an answer for 22!, and 1124000727777607680000 for 22x21x20x19x...x2x1.
