License Confusion

   Today I learned about license plates. Each plate has many possibilities for what it could be. Did you know that a normal state-issued Vermont plate has 12,812,904 possibilities! When they run out of plate numbers, they are probably going to change the system.
   Vanity plates are different, those are the custom 7-character plates. there are 35 possibilities for each space! That means there are 78,364,164,000 possibilities for each vanity plate!

  1. Trev, great job working out the number of possible combinations of different license plates.
