Great video!
So useful omg
THANKS ERIKA YOU ARE AN AWESOME TEACHER!! ALL THE ADVICES AND ANECDOTES WHERE REALLY USEFUL!!
Hi. Great video as always. The equilateral traingles can be found easily. Draw a circle. Mark 15 equidistant dots on it (as given in the question). To draw an equilateral triangle with 1st dot selected, select 5th and 10th dot. For equilateral triangle with 2nd dot, select 6th and 11th dot and so on which gives 5 equilateral triangles.

hi erika! where can i find your teaching for gmat in magoosh.
Hi Erika/Magoosh, pardon me but I'm not able to find the blog article which explains the last problem (circle/triangles). Can you please share the link?

After seeing all of your GREAT explanations (thx 4 that), I only have one question, and I'm afraid is kind of a dumb one (lol). Last problem, the one with the equilateral triangles... The 15 factorial (15!) was 15 x 14 x 13. My question is: Doesn't the factorial (!) mean 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 and so on til 1? I mean, how do you know that you needed to stop at 13? Thanks

When you take a combination of xCy, you’re dividing X!/Y!(X-Y)! In this case 15!/3!(12!), you can express 15! As 15x14x13x12… and 12! As 12x11x10… when you divide 15!/12! Everything after 13 cancels out, because it is also part of 12!.
Awesome video

Not at Magoosh right now, but there are services elsewhere. Good luck!
If you simplify 2/6 in the first question , it becomes 1/3 raised to power 4 it becomes 1/81 1-(1/81) = 80/81 which E. can you explain why you simplify in the 2nd question and not in the 1st question

You solved wrong.
What happened to Prepscholar GMAT?
For question no 2. Why could we not just choose (1/3)^8??
@therandomthings9128

Because they specifically asked for AT LEAST 1 blue marble.
Sorry bit you got me lost at 11:19. I don't understand how you did the divisions of the factorial.

You said the write answer is 80 why you change it to 77 how we can know that
@MagooshGMAT

Even though the total number of possible combinations is 80, there is a restriction in the question: "the paper, ribbon, and bow cannot all be the same color." So that reduces the number of combintions.
I have an exam after one week can you help me please is there any one here can help me ?
