#2 According to Ghalib, Daesh fighters launched six rockets on a security force base, one of which landed on the mosque.

Or it could be that one of the rockets missed the targetted security force base.

#3 Combinations of N taken K at a time. This is really crazy. That is why factorials are represented by exclamation points. Too many players in the ME cauldron now, so we need mathematical methods to begin to understand this madness.

Combinations of N taken K at at a time =

N! / ( (K!) / (N-K)! )

#4 N! / ( K! * (N-K)! ) or N! / K! / (N-K)!)

#8 I guess when you spend every day, five days a week, teaching math---some things become reflexive.
