If you could only have one scoop of each flavour of ice cream, then the answer would be the number of possible combinations of two ice creams from the set of four. This is given by the mathematical formula nCr = n! / ((r!)(n-r)!) where n is the total number of ice creams (four) and r is the number you choose (two).
Hence the answer would be 4! / (2! x 2!) = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 / (2 x 1 x 2 x 1) = 24/4 = 6.
However you can also have two scoops of the same flavour ice cream, of which there are four kinds (2 vanilla, 2 strawberry, 2 chocolate and 2 mint). So the final result is 6 + 4 = 10.
This of course assumes that reversing the two scoops counts as the same thing.

Or yes, 6, if you're not counting 2 scoops of the same.

Six. One flavor can be combined with three others. The next can be combined with two. The next can be combined with one. 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.
