1 Suppose I have a pack of smarties which, after my best friend

Ludwig has sco ed most of them, contains only six smarties:

1 red smartie, 2 green smarties, and 3 blue smarties. Now it’s

my turn! There are several ways in which I can eat some (or

all, or possibly none) of the remaining smarties. For example,

I can eat the red smartie, no green smarties, and two blue

smarties. Or I can eat the red smartie, one green smartie, and

no blue smarties. (The order in which I eat the smarties is

not important.) In how many ways can I eat some (or all, or

possibly none) of the remaining six smarties?
