If they sum to 2, there are 2 stars and 9 bars which makes for \({11 \choose 9} = 55\) solutions. 

 

If they sum to 1, there is 1 star and 9 bars which makes for \({10 \choose 9} = 10\) solutions. 

 

If they sum to 0, there are 0 stars and 9 bars which makes for \({9 \choose 9} = 1\) solution. 


So, there are \(55 + 10 + 1 = \color{brown}\boxed{66} \) solutions.
