A combination problem essentially asks for two answers from different mathematical areas. A simple example could be, "A boy has a bag of marbles. Four marbles are blue. Three marbles are red. Five marbles are white. How many marbles does he have all together? What are the chances of picking a blue marble at random?" The two areas being addressed are simple addition and probability. There are a total of 12 marbles. There is a 1:3 chance of picking a blue marble at random.

I've poured enough drinks to know that people don't always want advice—they just want to talk.
