Assume all the 25 tokens are the same, the three games use 25 tokens
without caring the order as repeating combinations 3 different objects
25 times.
Just like the number of positive integer solutions of the equation
X + Y + Z = 25
Or equivalently
X-1 + Y-1 + Z-1 = 22.
Since X-1 >=0, Y-1>=0,and Z-1>=0(means each game at least once)
There are H(3,22) = C(3+22-1,22) = C(24,22) = 24*23/2 = 276...Answer
