Lol ok Smile

I can pull up the post I'm talking about, should you be interested in the future.

I think you're stuck on the idea that each combination must have the same probability. Very often, that is the case. But the exclusion of one's own number screws with the natural order, and all possibiliities are no longer equal.

Each branch is equal from a particular point, but the number of branches from each point shifts about.
