   Python says:  (1 Combination 2) = 0   
      
            Ok... It's Impossible (to do).   
      
                 ------- is there a Better explanation?   
      
      
      
   (5 Combination 0) = 1  <---- This is explained by  Comb(5,0)=Comb(5,5)   
      
                                         in general:   Comb(N,r)=Comb(N,N-r)   
      
   _______________________________________   
      
   from math import comb   
      
   for i in range(6):      print( comb(5,i) )   
      
   print( comb(1,2)  )
