Question 512855: If there are 5 questions and each question has two possible answers, how many different combinations of answers are there? and what are they?
Example:
1. Cheese or Knife
2. Truth or Lie
3. Water or Friend
4. Intervene or Ignore
5. Stand or Sit
I started with trying to write out all the possible combinations but that just got me more confused. the answers aren't just simple true/false either and I think that really confused me, also.
thank you! :D
