(the answer is 60 according to dat achiever) Click to expand... This is how you solve it. k = N/R. K is number of ways, N is the total number of objects in the collection. R is the total of each unique objects in the collection. N = 6 R = Object "0" = 3, Object "1" = 2, Object "6" = 1. K = 6!/(3!*2!*1!) : You can get rid 1! b/c thats just one K = 6*5*4*3!/3!*2! --> you can get rid of 3! since that cancels out K = 120 / 2 = 60 ways. Upvote 0 Downvote
