You are buying flower arrangements. There are 12 types of flowers. You can afford 3 types of flowers. How many?

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

different arrangements can you choose?
please help thank u word problems are worth a lot in the final.

12C3=(12*11*10)/(3*2*1)=220

You use combinations rather than permutations because order does not matter. That is, peonies, roses, daffodils is the same as daffodils, roses, peonies.

does this girl still want to be my friend base on her responses?

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Friendship messed up due to mistakes on both sides and I wanted to fix our friendship. So I had been apologizing to this girl saying I am sorry for telling her to get out out my life. I tried calling, emailing, sending i am sorry flowers but she never responded. so I backed off for a while and then called her again, she replied by text "just please forget about the whole thing once n for all, I forgive you, please stop saying you are sorry", I asked her is our friendship too damaged to be normal again, she replied "no its not". Days later I tried to arrange a phone call where we simply talk as friends as 1st step moving on, but she texted back saying "I dont think I can talk with you on the phone rightnow, I am not convinced you are over everything from last summer". then she went silent when i tried to contact her again

so what is up? My mom says my friend feels too guility to face me rightnow because 1. she avoided me and made me depressed, putting me through so much misery. 2. she lied to me and then went behind my back and talked to other people. So my friend just cant talk to me as a friend rightnow because everytime I tries to contact her, she feels extremely bad about what happened and just cant face me
i mean if she doesnt want to be my friend anymore, she couldve said "yes" when I asked her if our friendship too damaged to be normal again… but then the silence just confuses me

You don’t mention the details of what exactly went on between you both so unsure if she is feeling guilt and can’t face you. I just think back off a little, the ball is in her court so to speak, She knows how you feel and therefore if she wants to rekindle the friendship she will in her own time. Sometimes we just have to let things go and move on. If it’s meant to be it will be!
