Is it 10 ?
H + M + E - HM - ME - HE - 2*MHE = 68
Therefore HM + ME + HE = 25 + 25 + 34 - 2*3 - 68 = 78 - 68 = 10
Please note that you have to include 2*MHE as you have counted the
trio combo 3 times in H + M + E.
H + M + E - HM - ME - HE - 2*MHE = 68
Therefore HM + ME + HE = 25 + 25 + 34 - 2*3 - 68 = 78 - 68 = 10
Please note that you have to include 2*MHE as you have counted the
trio combo 3 times in H + M + E.
