Then I missed that condition. If the premise is the absence of triple multiplicities, then you will hav items^slots - itemslots, thus 3^3 - the permutations were one item has all three items slots sets. 3^3 - 3 and thus 24. This changes quickly if you have more items than slots and have to determine which multiplicities you want to exclude.
