Why dont we just do every possible color combinations?
If we just use these 10 colors: white,black,blue,red,green,yellow,orange,pink,turquoise,purple
there would be 100 possibilities

Actually it would be 45 if order doesn't matter:
C(10,2) => 10! / ((2!)(10-2)!) => 10 * 9 / 2
And 90 if order does matter:
P(10,2) => 10! / (10-2)! = 10 * 9

No you didn't, though it may be good if you could teach others. It seems like more people knowing basic combinatorics could benefit the world.
