In professional football, it is possible to score 2, 3, or 6 points. (Safety, Field Goal and Touchdown) If a touchdown a scored it is also possible to score one additional point. The score of a football game was 21 to 17. Find the total number of possible combinations of points to achieve the final score.
Is there a faster way to do it instead of counting the number of ways to get 21, counting the number of ways to get 17 and then multiplying the two together?
