Going back to my Algebra II days (working with permutations/combinations), there are 2,118,760 possible combinations of States. I guess I could post all the different combinations to get the answer (something like @Doggman did in his post), but copying over 2.1 million different combination in a post might over-load the forum.

How about if I just post up the formula for all the different state combinations:
C(50,5) = P(50,5) divided by 5!
Basically: 50 x 49 x 48 x 47 x 46 divide by 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

 

It isn't 50x49x48x47x46?

 

This hurts my head.

 

You would use the above formula if the order/sequence of states is a factor. But since order/sequence is not a factor, you would have to divide 5 factorial to eliminate any combination that are duplicate (e.g. AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA is the same as CA, AR, AZ, AK, CA or AZ, AK, CA, AK, AL, ect.)

All this math stuff is really hurting my head this early in the morning.

More close guesses but no winner yet.

Yeah my crude program only spit out ~1000... I googled 50C5 and saw 2.1m and said forget it and posted what I had for the laughs ha

I also googled the algorithm for printing all combinations and it's not trivial

I'd like to think that OR is in there, but I really doubt it.

IOWA! I don't think I've seen another member from Iowa here. They certainly aren't "BROing" out their trucks enough. I've been wanting a set of cheap stock wheels and maybe OR shocks, but everyone seems to be on the coasts! Even been checking local Craigslist.
