Greek Mythology in Harry Potter - Argus was a beast with a hundred eyes that kept watch over Princess Io for Hera. Argus is the first name for which character in Harry Potter?
The correct answer is 'Filch'
Filch is the caretaker that always tries to catch people out doing things against the school rules. In the myth, Zeus flirted with Princess Io, but so that Hera wouldn't know he turned her into a little white calf. Hera guessed anyway, and sent Argus, the hundred- eyed beast, to watch over her. Zeus, desperate to get her back, told Hermes to try and lull Argus to sleep with music and stories, and then kill him when all of his eyes were closed. This Hermes did, freeing the little calf, but Hera sent a gadfly to chase Io, and turned the dead Argus into a peacock, where you can still see his hundred eyes. It's a pity Filch isn't so beautiful.
Harry Potter Question 9
A Harry Potter - Themed Quiz on Combinatorics - Hermione decided to make codewords for the DA that are composed of 2 letters, and 4 numbers. How many codewords are possible if the letters are taken from the English alphabet and the numbers from 0-9, and repetition is allowed?
The correct answer is '101,400,000'
Answer: C(6,2) x 26 x 26 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 101,400,000 words.
The answer to this problem seems to be very straightforward. We just simply have to multiply the number of choices for each of the two letters and each of the 4 numbers. However, the problem did not specify how the numbers and letters are placed in the codewords(the problem just mentioned that the codewords comprised of 2 letters and 4 numbers and not how the letters and numbers are arranged in the codeword). Hence, the presence of C(6,2). This represents the choosing of the location (out of 6 locations -> 4 + 2) of the two letters. You can also write C(6,4) if you wish to look for the location of the numbers instead of the letters. The two expressions are equal.
