Default Frustrated with Factorials

Thank you everyone for your posts. I apologize if I mislead anyone into
thinking the problem was more complicated than it actually is.

The problem: Design a program that will calculate the probability no 2
people have the same birthday when the number of randomly selected
people is 3, 5 and 25.


NOW HE TELLS US!!!!!!!!

I wrote an all-singing all-dancing MACHINE-CODE program to work out
ZILLIONS and VERMILLIONS and POSTILLIONS of combinations - and he
wants to go up to 25.

Anyway, look elsewhere in this string - or at
http://wehner.org/tools/factor.txt

The object code is at
http://wehner.org/tools/factor.x
It must be renamed "factor.com" (IBM DOS only)
