I have gladly donated some pellet hops are as goody bag fillers for BrewCon 2015 and as a thank you the NHC have given me a ticket which I am delighted to receive but unfortunately I cannot go. I am putting this up as a competition prize.

How do I win ? Well it's simply and pure luck name the 2 hops I donated one is American and the other is central European and they both start with same letter.

First correct answer will be notified best of luck.

What's the math on this in terms of the potential number of combinations?

Something like (2! x 8 x 8 ) assuming there are 8 varieties from each region in stock?

---------- has a pleasant hoppy aroma. It contains 3 - 6 % of α - acids (26 - 29 % of cohumulone). The ratio between α - and β - acids is about 1.7. The essential oil content varies from 0.6 to 3.6 % of dry hops. The ratio between α - humulene and β - caryophyllene in the essential oil is about 2.7. ------------ has a good storage stability. Beer prepared with this variety has good organoleptical scores for pleasant bitterness, which is harmonically linked to the aroma.
