NOTES FROM WALKER

#1. Com-prob problems always have a few different solutions. Try to solve the problems in many ways, and that will give you self-reliance.

#2. Use enumeration of possibilities for the problems with complex restrictions.

#3. "How can I apply here C^n_k or P^n_k?" - is a wrong question. Always understand what the formulas mean.
