How many signals can be given with 6 flags of different colors if any number of flags can be used at a given time?

With 6 flags of different colors, each flag can either be included in a signal or not, giving us 2 choices (use it or not) for each flag. Therefore, the total number of combinations using any number of flags is (2^6 = 64). However, this total includes the scenario where no flags are used, which is not a valid signal. Thus, the total number of signals that can be formed is (64 - 1 = 63).
