Question 248705: Alice, Beth, and Carlie have ten identical red balloons. In how many ways can the girls split up the balloons such that each of them gets at least one red balloon? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is the same as a 7 balloon problem where girl(s) can get none.
The answer is 36. I worked it out on paper but couldn't figure out a formula.
