That is beautifully embarrassing. I tried this over and over with that same formula, even during the test. 12!/4!8! I tried to simplify the fraction and lost it somehow. Very strange. I am doing too much!!!! Hahahaha Thanks again!

It happens! The good thing is that you had the right formula. I always cancel out the biggest factorial on the bottom with the last however-many terms of the top factorial and work from there.
