Combination question
This is shameless I know, but I'm stuck with my daughter's homework
question. Here's the question -
"Nine eggs numbered 1 to 9. Put the nine eggs into three baskets. The total
of the numbers on the eggs in each basket must be the same. How many
different ways are there to do it?"
As it's not stated to the contrary, I assume each basket can contain any
number of eggs, though each basket must contain at least one egg and hence a
maximum of seven eggs.
No doubt can be solved with VBA, but here's the rub - this is for a twelve
year! There's got to be a catch ?
Anyone interested in a virtual merit...
Regards,
Peter T
