seems to give 319830986772877770815625
It can also be done by thinking 39 * 37 * 35 * ... * 1
which also yields the same number. In that way, it is like selecting 1 person, who then has 39 people remaining, then selecting another, who has 37 left to choose from and so on.
I was super confused at first why it wasn't just 40 choose 2.
