How many possible color arrangements are there for:
1 blue and 29 orange
2 blue and 28 orange
3 blue and 27 orange
4 blue and 26 orange
5 blue and 25 orange
I know it grows exponentially but I want to know exactly how many color arrangements there are in case I want a complimentary color scheme and I don’t want a checkerboard.
I can only recommend taking a look at the statistics section of khanacademy.org for how to do the math. There is a section on how to work out just this sort of scenario, and I can’t remember how to do it offhand. I’ve sworn off statistics.:noway:
An option that will give you an idea of what those combinations can look like is to color a few out on graph paper to find then develop a visually appealing block arrangement.
In total numbers, it’s 29 but I would think, like Charlotte, that [I]how[/I] the blocks are arranged is more important. You could also play around with this on a spreadsheet to get a feeling for the pattern you like.
that is what I am meaning by color arrangements and no there are 30 color arrangements for 1 blue and 29 orange.
Ah, I see. Does your blanket have an axis of symmetry or is it oriented in one direction?
It is a 5*6 grid so it does have an axis of symettry. A horizontal one.
