Ed, too easy? hm...this one then on less than one minute (calculator 
allowed). If you do that, you are not a scientific but an engineer.

1. How many 5 letter words (letter combinations) can be created with the 
English alphabet?

2. The English language has 40,000 words with 5 letters. From the result in 
1 above,
what is the probability of creating  real word.s?

This is for Ed

Inge

PS. If this is also too easy, I've another funny one.
