Here you can only use at the most 3 characters, and no fewer than 2.
I would assume the question asked us to pick 3 numbers and 3 letters and figure out the maximum number of combinations using those 6 characters.
Here you can't turn all letters backwards, and all letters can't be lazy or upside down. All numbers must maintain their natural position. So letters can hang, some can't. Only some letters can be combined with another letter.

| I'm guessing tens of thousands, depending on your area. Considering there are 6 different locations on the animal it can be put, and each character can be oriented several ways, arranged side by side and one above the other or a combination of the two..... kinda makes my head hurt just thinking about it. |
Location is not a factor, I dont care if you brand a cow with one letter or number in six places as long as she gets 3 letters and 3 numbers.
good luck

OK SO YOU COULD PICK 6 different symbols FOR EACH PLACE IN A 6 DIGIT NUMBER the answer would be 6x6x6x6x6x6 = 46656
46.656
if you used ABC AND 123
3 numbers and 3 letters using them over again as in aaa111 aaa112

I will stick to my answer with the new rule as 666,666
if you have a number 6 digits long....you can ONLY pick 6 different digits for the first number...so that is 600,000
and since you ONLY PICK 6 DIFFERENT NUMBERS THAT IS THE SECOND NUMBER AND SO AND SO ON
666,666 |
3 Single digit numbers and 3 letters, In any order,that combination and only that combination.
good luck
