	A lock combination		2022-07-19
		Kendal pose la question : If I tried I could probably (I think) figure the answer but it would take a minute and I hoped maybe as math people there may be a simple formula… I just watched a new movie Black Phone, the kid is given 5 numbers for a combination lock in order but with no indication where the stops are. The numbers (in order) are 23317, my question is how many possibilities with a standard combination lock are there…ie. 2-33-17, 23-3-17, 23-31-7…. As you can imagine not a great movie…my curiosity may get the best of me depending on how your app works ;). Thanks for your time. Penny Nom lui répond.

	Musical Scales		2002-07-24
		Terence pose la question : Given that there are 12 notes in a musical octave, what is the maximum number of musical scales possible within that octave, if each scale has a minimum of 5 notes and a maximum of 9 and we start all the scales from the same note? In case you don't know anything about music, a scale is a progression of notes where you start on a specific note and end on that same note an octave higher. There are twelve different notes between these two similar notes. Which notes you choose to play determine the sound of the scale. Anything less than five notes would not make for a very interesting scale. Anything more than nine and you would be playing almost 'every' note in the scale, not leaving much room for distinction in how you organize these notes. I assume you first have to figure out the maximum number of variations possible in a 5-note scale (with 12 notes at your disposal). Then do the same for a 6-note scale, then a 7-note, then an 8-note, and so on. Then add up the results. How to find this maximum number of variations for each scale size though is what I don't know. Leeanne Boehm lui répond.
