I've refined this task a bit, and made it binom(5,3), okay? --[[User:Alegend|Alegend]] 01:03, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Task Needs Refinement

The task needs more work. I've made the math look nicer, but it would help if we had some particular values to try to calculate too; I've done binom(60,30), but that requires a non-trivial component somewhere — even the result won't fit in 32-bit ints, let alone any intermediate values — so I don't know if it is really suitable as an actual task. –Donal Fellows 00:39, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
