Thank you good sir!!! :thumbsup: :cool:

ETA: 6x4x6x6x(we’ll call it 2, light and heavy)x3x3x2x15x2 = 933,120

wow, how did the AI screw it up so badly...it must have been operator error <me>, right?

Looks like you missed one of the blade finishes (5 vs. 6), and it didn’t account for the handle jimping options either.

But even so, it’s numbers were still wrong with what you fed it (311,040 vs. my math at 388,800), and I do not know why.
 
And i just came to the realization that, holy crap, there’s over 900,000 possible combinations!!! 🤯 In order to play legos with these, I probably should have gotten more than 2! 😩 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Reminds me of the 51 factorial problem.

If you haven't bent your brain on that idea , i.e. that in a standard card deck,minus jokers, there has most likely never been the same shuffle order twice in history. There are more combinations than there are grains of sand on Earth. Many more.

I wonder if Busse folks will be making new parts to satisfy the needs of the Elites.
 
Did anyone who spoke to Becky get an ETA on the blind bag shipping. I'm surprised there are so many. I would have thought they would have had 3-5 options for the TV people to look at. Maybe they were considering full production then pulled back when the show didn't use them?

I cant wait to see all the configurations posted when these start rolling in

Wow! Assuming ChatGPT could calculate THAT correctly, it came out to over 1.55X10^66. Holy CRAP!

Yea, astounding numbers. I mis typed, should be 52!

And if you want some fun, ask an Amazon smart speaker what 52 factorial is. It takes 30 or more seconds just to say the result.

Great informational videos on YouTube, but many people are surprised at this. Numbers humans cannot fathom.

I would suspect there are much fewer variations of WD-38s. Glad it wasn't a 4" blade btw.

I am super excited to see what Busse cooks up for this Hog. I think the corrugated beveled blade with BUSSE on it is the best looker, but there isn't a bad one in the bunch.

Yeah, lol. My old HP-48 calculator has a built-in button for factorial (which is the ! symbol in maths).

51! = 1.55111875329e^66 🤯


I hope it's not what I think you're saying.

Yeah... I just didn't want to type out even those 11 numbers past the decimal.

OK... I just couldn't help myself. And I thought for a second I broke ChatGPT, as it displayed, "Analyzing..... Stopped Analyzing... Analyzing." So, going that one extra card give you over 8.06X10^67. Which... really... I was stupid for even putting that into ChatGPT. But, deep down, I DID want to see if I could break it.

I think I did when I tried 54^54... I forget why I tried that. Me and some other engineering geeks were playing around about something.

Nope... just tried it on my iPhone calculator. Even it didn't have a problem with that. Anyway, nevermind... massive thread drift. Sorry.
 
So here's my problem. I'm excited as sh** to get one of these. ESPECIALLY after I fumbled getting the email in; I am just dumbfounded I managed to get one. Anyway... here's my problem. These are prototypes. This thing is essentially a part of history. But there is NO WAY I'm not going to use this thing. ANY Busse BEGS to be used.
OK... not a problem. It's a Busse. I'm gonna use the ... crap... out of it. It will be a prototype with history. Both societal (Busse) and personal.

Just had to talk my way through that.

Thread drift? Nah. This is what zombies do while waiting on Busse knives.

I will use mine. The thing about prototypes and one offs is, if you need one for your collection, you buy what's for sale if rarity dictates.

As I like to say, they'll be worrying about this at my estate auction.

Deltadreams Deltadreams sorry to hear you missed out. Maybe someone will need to sell after their wife finds out.

I ordered two and honestly think they will both get used. I previously kept things super nice only to sell them to the next guy. I’ve learned enjoying the experience is far more valuable than trying to preserve value in a thing… but I also usually don’t buy things as investments anymore.
 
I just cant afford new things in 2026 as a consequence of 2025. Maybe I'll get one off nuker if he gets doubles down the line. But, with proto coming just can't right now.

That said, I think missing out on the excitement of trying to score one is the hardest part on this one.
