I guess I have an actual math question. Every time I look at a problem and think it is interesting, it ends up being in something called "Combinatorics" which someone told me is just fancy counting.

I was buying cheese sticks in a restaurant and I was given a $250 book ticket. I am debating picking every cheap old book with the word "Combinatorics" in the title, opening them in a random order until I find one I can comprehend and reading it. The rest would be reference or read as needed. Unneeded ones will be turned into gifts for other people. If I do this I should get somewhere between 25-50 books. Maybe more if I am lucky.

Is this a good use for a book ticket?

It doesn't have to be old books, it just has to be $250 in books, but old ones always seem like a better use of money.

Probably I am going to be banned soon for maidposting. Hopefully the information I need is collected before that so I can use it while banned. If this is the last thing I get to say in this thread, thank you for helping me.

I am going to see if I can build a closet supercomputer to make stable diffusion drawings.
