If you & #39;shuffle and deal& #39; any number of races from 2019 to create new shorter seasons, there are 27399 ways Max Verstappen becomes champion https://youtu.be/jfa5O8sg8g0 ">https://youtu.be/jfa5O8sg8...

Seen some people talking about all the & #39;permutations& #39; used in this video, but just to be a maths pedant for a sec - I actually use & #39;combinations& #39;, not & #39;permutations& #39;

It doesn& #39;t matter too much in comment parlance but I& #39;m only bringing it up now to mention the difference.

& #39;Permutations& #39; are when the order makes a difference.
So a Spain, Belgium, China season would be counted as *different* from a Bel-Spain-Chn and Chn-Spain-Bel season. But I count them as functionally identical, so they are all the same & #39;combination& #39;

Again, don& #39;t really care what word you use in casual chat! I& #39;m not that pedantic. But if you& #39;ve got a stats exam coming up...er... (pandemics aside) then it& #39;s good to know the diff.
