I know these are dumb questions, but I really need
closure on this....
Suppose we have TWO football games going on,
Dolphins vs Rams, and Bears vs Falcons. How many total
outcomes can result from these 2 games??? My guess
is THREE, is that correct??... i.e:
1) Dolphins win & Bears win
2) Rams win & Falcons win
3) Dolphins win & Falcons win
I think those are ALL the possibilities, right??
And finally, what if I have THREE games going on???
Dolphins vs Rams, Bears vs Falcons, and Lions vs Cardinals??
How many total outcomes would I have here??
I guess I just need a general algorithm for N games, but I can't
seem to solve it.
Thanks!
