:: So RDM, For example ('Wisconsin', 'Kory New') cannot become ('Wisconsin', 'Wen Kory') because they both contain Wisconsin? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 19:34, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
::: Yes, I think so? Put differently if Wisconsin and Kory New are a permutation of Wisconsin and New York, then they would also be a permutation of New York and Wisconsin, wouldn't they? That said, this issue can be treated in various ways and "any different combination" works fine to implement the original puzzle, even though it's inadequate with the fake state names. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 00:54, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
::: That only makes sense. If A and B are permutations of each other, then any C + A is a permutation of C + B, which will give a lot of boring answers. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 22:58, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
:::: I made some minor changes to the task page caveats (in parenthesis) which hopefully clarifies things. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 01:32, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
