"Despite what you may have learned in chemistry class, any pair of atoms will stick to each other to form a diatomic molecule. Given this fact, how many species of diatomic molecules are there?"

In the solutions pdf, the answer is 10^4 but the question bank json has an answer with a power of 2.

Pdf said "+2" but their answer was 10k. $118 \choose 2$ has an OOM of 4 though so I'll fix it whenever I add more questions.
