SPLIT-Permutation Question (Please help) - Math or Maths

[Deleted member 4993]

Thanks Lex. So 1/110 is the correct answer. It's a very biased question against someone who doesn't know the rules though.

It is like asking me question relating "yacht" racing!!

I suppose it depends what country you are in. If in Britain, soccer is like a national religion!

You're starting to translate into American English too! (you wrote "soccer" not "football"). I've started writing "math" now instead of "maths". When do we get our green cards?

@Cubist
Very well spotted. I did write football and then thought, no - it's not worth the confusion - make it soccer! It is a bit more appropriate in Ireland as we have a very popular 'Gaelic football', so soccer is spoken of here too.
I have still resisted 'math' so far, but I notice pupils doing that regularly.

In Australia we say "maths" not "math". Where are you from Cubist and Lex?

We're not alone then. I'm from Ireland.

I'm from just outside London England. @Harry_the_cat wow you're a long way from Lex and I! The internet brings us closer.

I think it's just those North Americans. Maybe not even Canada? Any Canadians here - is it math or maths for you?
