Public

Good morning Fediverse.

Today, I will try to answer the combinatorics challenge: In how many ways can you distribute two strings http://remote.test/actor/1234 and https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public between the to and cc fields. Both strings should be present in the final result.

I'm expecting a result in the double digits.
