    Without complicating this, can we assume 6 different shells, 4 different meats, 15 different vegetables, and 6 different sauces?

    It is the multtiplication principle. Just mutliply them together.

    (6)(4)(15)(6)=

    This is considering one of each is used. If we are using more sauces or more veggie, etc. then that is a different matter.

    It is probably the former if the problem does not state otherwise.

What Do You Think Are the Best Cominations of Beers for Making a "Black and Tan"? [ 8 Answers ]

Hi, All! That's if you like beer. Not everyone does. I know that this is largely a matter of personal taste and preference. But, it would be good to hear from others as to their preferences concerning making a "Black and Tan" if they've had that drink and/or know how to make one. Thanks!
