can I make with no number being use twice in one set?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


These sets are called COMBINATIONS of 24 numbers taken 12 at a time.


The formula for the number of such sets is  

     24*23*22* . . . * 13
    ---------------------- = 2704156.    ANSWER
     1*2*3* . . . .  * 12
