Re: Probability with draft lottery
it does suffer from the same problem as mine does though...
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Re: Probability with draft lottery
Hm, I would like to try that.
I changed the bit at Permutations, so it should be a bit faster now.

Re: Probability with draft lottery
First you try to see how your machine reacts to
Permutations[{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14},{14}];

I saw that. Memory allocation problems.

Re: Probability with draft lottery
14! is a really big number.
M has one big weakness in the functional paradigm - post processing.

Re: Probability with draft lottery
M behaves rather unlike a program and more and more like a person. On one machine with
4 GB of ram it can not get permutations of 11, while the other can with only 2 GB's.
