Either it is a joke question, but I would only do this on April $1$, or it is a typo. –  André Nicolas Feb 15 '12 at 17:50
Should this question be closed as too localized, or not a real question or should stay on..? –  user21436 Feb 15 '12 at 17:58
If it was given to you as homework, then there must be a typo. I would suggest you assume it says "How many different draws of 9 names..." and then solve the problem, and be sure to state your (new) assumptions in your solution. –  William DeMeo Feb 15 '12 at 20:56
