You have 100 basketball teams, and each team plays 12 games. What is the total amont of games that will be played?

I might guess 600?

Nowhere does it say whether they play each other or what they are limited by, such as replications by combinations, so why isn't it 120?

Because each team plays 12 games, regardless of winning or losing.

I meant to say 1200, if this is a trick question. What if the 100 teams play teams other than each other?
