This one should be a bit more difficult and put your brains working for the next contest.
Only 1 person will get the prize as there is only one possible answer.
Here is the question:
How many 3 digit numbers have no repeated digits?
The answer to this problem has a value of $2. Don't worry, this $2 are just to get you started, there will be more contests with greater prizes!

648.
There are 9 possibilities for the first digit. There are also 9 possibilities for the second digit since 0 can be used. The second digit cannot equal the first digit. The third digit cannot equal either the first or the second, so there are 8 possibilities for it. Thus there are 9 * 9 * 8 = 648 three digit numbers with no repeated digits.

Nice. You could also try the long way, but that's why I lost. |
