Question 65417: Ten teams play a game in which they either win lose or draw. With a key of W=win L=Lose and D= Draw - I suppose the first permutation would be WWWWWWWWWW, perhaps followed by WWWWWWWWWL etc etc. ...What would the total number of permutations be for all ten games. Is it possible to see all the possible permutations for this online?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Every position is either W, L, or I.
So there are 3^10 possible patterns
3^10 = 59049 patterns.
No, I would not like to list them online.
