Confirmation of problem
A painter has 4 colors and a box. He wishes to paint the inside in 1 color and the outside in another color. How many ways are there to color it?
Is it 12?

Re: Confirmation of problem
Hi;
I like 4 x 3 =12.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
