Re: Combinations & Permutations..... sort of

Of course, Donald Knuth has probably solved this already, as well as it can be - but there is always a chance for a better mousetrap, eh?

If you can find an efficient solution, you will deserv a "Nobel price"
More likely, you'll get a Turing Award, which is roughly equivalent to
a Nobel Prize, but for computer science. Or, you might instead get a
Fields Medal if you're young enough; or an Abel Prize if you're not
young enough for the Fields. (Sometimes, the Nobel Prize in economics
amounts to a kind of "math Nobel", so if you do get a Nobel for
solving this, it would be that one.)
