Hi guys,
I have a math problem I'm not sure how to solve.
I have X (lets say 11) Marbles and a box, each day up to Y (lets say 35) days I can put any amount of marbles in the box, but by the end of the 35 days I must be left with 0 marbles.
for example,
I can put 11 marbles on day 1 and then 0 the rest of the time.
I can put 1 marble each day up until the 11th day then 0 the rest of the month.
I can put 1 on the first day and 10 on the last day.
I can put 1 marble every 3 days etc...
the question is, how many possible different combinations are there? I'm not sure how to calculate this at all, the final number is probably in the millions isnt it?
thanks
