But what do you suppose the unknown gender ones really are? Aloiene sounds like a girl's name.. but Corellon sounds like a boy's..

I don't know what Pascal's triangle is, either. My head spun when I read L's comment. Which probably isn't good, seeing how math master's is this Friday.
I still can't figure out what I did wrong, and giving myself the benifit of doubt, if I am wrong, seeing how I did the math AGAIN and came up with 265, 720. It's like I'm missing a piece of information.
@Blonde Heroines Rule, drawing your brain on a frying pan is more progressive than what I'm trying to do. And I'm suppose to be practcing my instruments anyways.

Pascal's Triangle. Look it up on Google, it really is a fine piece of work. It comes in handy when doing combinations (such as the ones above), but the numbers you're working with should probably be small. Otherwise would be unfortunate and difficult to work with.
A bad example of Pascal's triangle, with just typing in numbers:
(n=0) 1
(n=2) 1 1
(n=3) 1 2 1
(n=4) 1 3 3 1
(n=5) 1 4 6 4 1
And so on.

@L: Well, like Theo I was hoplessly lost. So I looked up what the heck nCr was, and found this math forum, where apparently this guy had written to a math professor asking him the same thing. I printed it out, but all I saw that made me even MORE confused, was.. exclamation marks? Hm.. looks familiar. Maybe I'd done it before. Sure I had. I got out 2 of my past math books, and with those and the paper in front of me, glasses right on the end of my nose, amidst books and papers on math of every kind, I looked and looked and looked. But... that turned out to be a failure..
So instead of admitting myself beaten, I got our my present math book, and looked through the table of contents. That's when I saw, like 4 units ahead.. Combinations! I pracrtically went crazy. So I did that lesson and the Permutations lesson before it to find out what those exclamations were for..
Looking back at L's post.. well.. yeah.. I can see where you were headed, but I still don't fully understand it... computer formatting, maybe? Whatever. Can you explain it, L? Since I now know combinations like the back of my hand, you don't have to pretend to talk to an idiot. So don't go into detail too much, since I have experience, and don't worry about Theo's undertsanding. He has his own methods....
Spammy says ekiy.. ok? L SAID YES! Ok, I'm waiting for that explanation...

I'm just going to explain it to everybody because I'm not quite sure how much each of you know. So here goes. MOAS.
The probability I wrote as a fraction. In the numerator was the number of favorable outcomes, in the denominator the total number of outcomes.
Combinations (represented by nCr) tell you how many ways you can choose a certain number of objects from a certain number total. N represents total, r represents number chosen (factorials - the exclamation points - are for permutations, nPr, when you want to know how many ways there are to arrange things). In each of the problems that I did, I used combinations because I wanted to know how many ways I could choose a name that started or ended in a certain letter.
The question of "or" vs. "and" is pretty simple. If you want to know how many ways you could choose a name that starts with L or F, you would just add the combinations, as I did in the second problem. If you want a name that starts with L and ends in F, you would multiply them.
After that, it's fairly simple: I divided and multiplied by 100 to get a percent.
