3³=27 multiple nucleotide mutations

If we have three bases, starting from AAA, we get (AAT, AAG, AAC, ATA, AGA, ACA, TAA, GAA, CAA). That's 3*3 = 9, not 3^3 = 27. And so on. You do know * is a multiplication sign, right?

He said multiple nucleotide mutations. I said single point mutations.

Tell the truth, dude. The alternative, well, you know what that makes you?
