up to means they don't all choose 5 some choose fewer.
Are we counting all five as one way no matter the order ? 1 or 5!
then we have 5*4*3*2 for 4 condiments
then we have 5*4*3 for three condiments
then we have 5*4 for two condiments
then we have 5 for 1 condiment
and finally one way of having no condiments.
add them all up
