you should do the ship math for all voices AND princesses + long quiet and the narrator INCLUDING poly. do it. Do it. How many are there.

Okay alright I'll bite

SO

11 voices, 11 associated princesses

1 Long Quiet, 1 Shifting Mound

1 Narrator

Excluding the first Princess, the Razor and the Stranger, each princess has her own chapter III, yes I am counting the Greys separately. +8

Excluding the Greys, six of the princesses are paired up for more Chapter IIIs. +3

OPTIONAL: four from the Razor princess's Chapter IIIs and IVs, one from deconstructed Damsel and one from the second form of nerve

So that comes up toooooo,,,,,

36 (42 optionally)

Time for the calculation

So, to calculate this I'll have to do 36C2 + 36C3 +... All the way up to 36C36

I'm gonna pull an epic gamer move to make my life easier

Ysee, 36C17 = 36C19, 36C16 = 36C20 and so on, so I'm going to do this:

2x(36C2 + 36C3 +... up til 36C17) + 36C18 + 36 + 1

Same with 42 (just up till 42C20 and + 42C21 + 42 + 1 instead)

Now since I'm totally sane, I manually calculated these partially cuz the numbers were too big for my calculator, and so I could've easily gotten this wrong

Dear Anon, the number of ships – voices, princesses, narrator, and polycules and all, is:

68719472699 (for 36),

4398046511061 (for 42).

Numbers SO FUCKIN BIG that they are absolutely arbitrary, even if I did get them wrong.

You're welcome :]€
