There is a mathematical function called "factorial", and it is denoted by "!" (the exclamation mark). The factorial is when you multiply a number by every number before it, all the way down to 1.

Eg: 5! = 5*4*3*2*1=120

So, when you choose n objects in random order, at first you have n choices. After that, you have n-1 choices left, and after that, then you have n-2 choices left, and so on.

So the answer to the question "How many ways are there to pick n objects from n objects if order does not matter is: n!

where n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)*(n-4) . . . (3)*(2)*(1).

* * * * *

That is the number if the order DOES matter.

If the order does NOT matter, as the question requires, the answer is 1.

How do tornadoes pick stuff up?

Tornadoes pick up objects by creating a strong rotating column of air that moves upwards and spins rapidly. The fast wind speeds within the tornado can lift and carry objects like debris, trees, and vehicles with significant force. The intensity of a tornado's winds and the size of the objects determine what it can pick up and carry.
