I learned yesterday that Murphy Brown was still on the air as late as 1998. I was shocked! Shocked I say.

Ok, assuming we take all combinations of letters from "Beartato" as words, isn't that still only 10,080?

Even 8! is only 40,320.

Are the other 81,920 words magical ones made from a letter too beautiful for the human mind to comprehend?

From: earthboundkid

The question is "how many words can you spell from the letters in the word 'BEARTATO'?" On my interpretation, there's no limit that we can only use the letter T twice or whatever. The question is how many words use only letters in the set a, b, e, o, r, and t. Doing this in Python using OS X's Unix dictionary of English, we get:



>>> dictionary = open("/usr/share/dict/words").readlines( )

>>> sum(1 for word in dictionary if all(letter in "abeort

" for letter in word))

372



And the results:

These puzzles are hard and stoopid and you're stoopid for coming up with them :(

From: shihtzu

Actually they are examples of puzzles proven by important mathematicians (in bow ties) to be unsolvable



They are not the homework
