In this video, I walk you through a beautiful double counting argument from the 1987 International Mathematical Olympiad. The problem asks us to count permutations by tracking how many fixed points they have, and then to show that a certain weighted sum equals the total number of permutations.
The trick relies on interpreting the same quantity in two different ways, leading to a clean and surprising identity. This is a perfect example of why double counting is one of the most powerful tools in combinatorics.
If you enjoy elegant solutions, permutation problems, or classic competition math, this video is for you. Watch to see how a simple idea unlocks a deep result!
