Is that right? My head hurts trying to think about it.
It isn't like 4 squared or 4 to the fourth power?

I guess I'm going to have to take your word for it because I am VERY
math challenged.

For the last what?
Anyway, other than UNC winning, what is the answer to the potential
unique number of different brackets that could be filled out, no matter
who the winner is?
Seriously I am VERY math challenged and would appreciate someone's help
with the answer (please show your work too! LOL)
Assuming the formula you propose is correct zip and I certainly have no
way to say it isn't, what is the answer? And remember, that though
there are 64 teams, they don't all play one another. You have to play
the teams you're seeded against and then those in your bracket which I
think might affect the whole thing?
Very complicated to me.
Of course I admit that I am NOT a "chemist" .....
