Default Macro to build table

I think I got it - can someone confirm this is accurate?

Sub Macro()
Dim lngRow As Long
Dim intA As Integer, intB As Integer, intC As Integer, intD As Integer, intE
As Integer, intF As Integer
For intA = 1 To 2
For intB = 1 To 2
For intC = 1 To 2
For intD = 1 To 2
For intE = 1 To 2
For intF = 1 To 2
lngRow = lngRow + 1
Range("A" & lngRow).Resize(, 6) = Split(intA & "," & intB & "," & intC & ","
& intD & "," & intE & "," & intF, ",")
Next
Next
Next
Next
Next
Next
End Sub

Also, can someone explain why there are 64 total scenarios? For some reason
I was convinced it was 36 (6 to the n power, n being the number of possible
answers, which in this case is 2)

Thank you.

I have 6 questions that may be answered yes or no, and for the sake of
keeping everything in integer form, let's assume "1" for yes and "0" for no.

Depending on how a customer answers all 6 questions, they will receive a
predetermined score. I am attempting to develop the answer key, so-to-speak,
to refer the reps to once they are finished asking the customer these
questions.

I was hoping for the code that would build a macro to create this tabe for
me - a table that would lay out all of the 6 question-answer combinations,
like the following:

Questions Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Scenario 4
1 1 1 1
1
2 1 0 0
0
3 1 1 0
1
4 1 1 1
0
5 1 1 1
1
6 1 1 1
1

...and so on, so that I am given all the possible 6 answer scenarios....

Your help is greatly appreciated!

It worked ok for me.

If you have two options and each option has 2 choices, then you'll end up with
2^2=4.
AA
AB
BA
BB

If you have 3 options and each option has 2 choices, then you'll end up with
2^3=8.

AAA
AAB
ABA
BAA
ABB
BAB
BBA
BBB

So the rule would be 2 (the number of choices) raised to the number of options.

=2^6=64

Take a look at your output and you'll see all those possibilities.
