\(\textit{Something to think about}\): As mentioned above, order does not matter in the case of binomial coefficients. This fact has caused quite a curious phenomenon because the term “combination lock” is consequently mathematically confusing. In opening the lock, the order in which one enters the digits is in fact VERY important. This creates somewhat of a paradox. In this case, it is logical that combination locks should actually be called by the name “permutation lock” in order to be mathematically accurate (Schultzkie, 2012).
