More Archery Practice (Posted on 2004-09-21) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Someone shot 10 arrows at a target with 10 concentric rings, each being worth a different integer number of points from 1 to 10. How many different ways are there of scoring 10 points by doing this? (Note that not all the arrows have to hit the target and that order matters; 6 first then 4 is different from 4 first then 6. Also note that two or more arrows may hit the same ring.)

The required number of different ways is:

                          19!
comb(19,9) = ----------- = 92,378
                          9!*10!

*** Will try to posit a detailed explanation soon.
