The cake number is so-called because one may imagine each partition of the cube by a plane as a slice made by a knife through a cube-shaped cake. It is the 3D analogue of the lazy caterer's sequence. The values of C n for n = 0, 1, 2, ... are given by 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 26, 42, 64, 93, 130, 176, 232, ... (sequence A000125 in the OEIS).
In mathematics, a combination is a selection of items from a set that has distinct members, such that the order of selection does not matter (unlike permutations).For example, given three fruits, say an apple, an orange and a pear, there are three combinations of two that can be drawn from this set: an apple and a pear; an apple and an orange; or a pear and an orange.

As the numbers of compositions of n +1 into k +1 ordered partitions form Pascal's triangle, the numbers of compositions of n +1 into k +1 or fewer ordered partitions form Bernoulli's triangle. i.e., the sum of the first k nth-order binomial coefficients. [1] The first rows of Bernoulli's triangle are:
The number associated in the combinatorial number system of degree k to a k-combination C is the number of k-combinations strictly less than C in the given ordering. This number can be computed from C = { c k , ..., c 2 , c 1 } with c k > ... > c 2 > c 1 as follows.
Now comes the $3.6 million payout.
Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of one side of the bundt cake comes out clean, 42 to 45 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes before turning the cake out onto a cooling rack and ...
An archetypal double counting proof is for the well known formula for the number () of k-combinations (i.e., subsets of size k) of an n-element set: = (+) ().Here a direct bijective proof is not possible: because the right-hand side of the identity is a fraction, there is no set obviously counted by it (it even takes some thought to see that the denominator always evenly divides the numerator).
