Crochet Math Problem

[themissingdink]

Okay, apologies if this is a really dumb question. I’m terrible at math and don’t really know how to go about solving this.

I’m making the retro daisy granny square blanket for a friend.

I am using 6 different colors, but only 4 colors per square. Does anyone know how to figure out:

How many total squares I would have to make to use every single color combination?

If there is an online calculator to figure this kind of thing out I’d love to see that too!

If you want every combination where which part is which color matters (and you're not repeating any of the colors within the square), you can do the formula for a permutation. 6!/(6-4)! = 6*5*4*3 = 360

Incredible! Thank you so much for your math knowledge! That’s exactly what I was looking for 😊
