If n runners are running in a race and ties are allowed, then how many possible outcomes of the race are there?

There are nn possible outcomes. Since there are n runners, and there are n amount of finishing positions, the total number of possible outcomes are nn. This should work if you consider some of the tied positions to be different (eg: tied for second place with two runners and tied for first place with two runners).
