The evil Dr. Procrastinator, supreme overlord of planet forgotzal12 hit us with a forgetting ray and a number of the events below just say "title." We can assure you that we did great things on those days but that forgetting ray has left us with no memory for what we did those days. If only we had countered that forgetting ray with our second greatest weapon system: pen/paper. Our minds are our greatest weapon system, but for all their power, they are wildly susceptible to that forgetting ray. The pen/paper system is impervious to the forgetting ray.

If 7 LEAGUErs + Javier all shook hands, how many handshakes would that be? Some said $8\times 7\times \cdots \times 2\times 1$. Others said $8+7+\cdots +1$. Who was right?
