there's been a thread about this about every 4 months.
On 18, 2008 of the year August, we shall have tea. The following day we eat anyone wearing purple clothes. Then we get into tanks, drive a mile away from each other, and start firing random shells into the air. First one to hit the other tank gets a 5 second head start in the 1 legged race.
In the one legged race, you will be hogtied and forced to compete in the Boston marathon using your penis only. We shall also set down bear traps, landmines, barbed wire, and floating thumbs. Your penis will be painted to resemble an illusion that looks like a 3-D steak; as a result, several Dobermen and Rottweilers we will be taking for a walk that morning which have been starved the previous week may attack.

I would like to make the point that this cannot be calculated as a combination value, it is a permutation.
For example, in the simplest possible terms, I cannot contract my knees twice in two successive turns.
I would also like to point out the fact that not all of the moves will be dissimilar. Again, as an example, lets say I hold my knee after already contracting it, it will still act as though it were contracted unless it is forced out of that state my a blow with enough force to dislodge it.
So while on a technical level that is the number of possible moves, it is not actually the number of DIFFERENT moves.

Yes you can? For the record, you might also note a difference between holding joints and keeping them contracted.

Never said it was. Then again, the probability of two different actions giving the pinpoint-exact result is about the same as it is for two of the players in the cubical to invent the exact same move.
