the first gardener can pick from 11 different seeds, the second can pick from 11 different seeds, etc
(this allows the same seed being picked by more than one gardener)
= 11^6 ways = 1771561
number of ways where none are the same, (once picked, can't be picked again)
= 11x10x9x8x7x6 =332640
so the number where at least 2 are the same
= 1771561 - 332640 = 1438921
so prob(at least 2 the same) = 1438921/1771561 = .8122
check my arithmetic, it is often quite lousy
