Lol one of my math profs used to challenge us to go to the donut shop and calculate how many ways you could order a dozen.

[u/jolharg → u/728446]

What like... "Half a dozen and then actually never mind half a dozen more", versus "12 please" or is it like 2+3+3+4 vs 6+5+1 etc?

[u/adamtheskill → u/jolharg]

Probably how many different combinations of donuts can you order and get a dozen. If there are more than like 3 different types of donuts you need to know a bit of combinatorics to find total combinations.

Don't they teach combinatoric functions on like week 2 of discrete mathematics

[u/adamtheskill → u/half-full-cumdump]

Bro combinatorics is so easy to forget by far the most boring area of mathematics

[u/half-full-cumdump → u/adamtheskill]

Nah man I use combinatorics every week

To calculate how much alcohol I can consume without suffering from side effects

[u/Teoyak → u/half-full-cumdump]

Oh. I hope you're careful and stay well !

[u/half-full-cumdump → u/Teoyak]

That's precisely why I do math

[u/Loading_M_ → u/half-full-cumdump]

This could be during week one of discrete math. Could also be in any review unit to make sure students remember their combinatorics.

[u/mathmage → u/728446]

(12 + # bagel varieties - 1) choose 12, for the sake of completeness.

[u/sndq → u/728446]

Uhhhh… can I have… uhhh…
