In GE encounter 59/48, n = 9, r = 5.
9^5 = 59049
The chance to solve the encounter with 1 try, is: 1/59049 (once in 59 thousand times)???
The chance to solve the encounter with 2 tries, is: 1 - (1-1/59049)^2 = 0.00003386988 (once in 30 thousand times)???

A Permutation is an ordered Combination.
There are basically two types of permutation:
- Repetition is Allowed:
- No Repetition
For Type 1, the formula is simply:
n to the r-th power
where n is the number of things to choose from,
and we choose r of them,
repetition is allowed,
and order matters.
