shrader Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 2. One arrangement of the letters in the word PUPPET is UETPPP, but this ends with the letter P. How many different six-letter arrangements of the letters of the word PUPPET are there that neither begin nor end with P? (213) I'll screw up and skip a step, but here we go: 3 different starting non-p letters 2 other non-p letters left for the end 3*2=6 possible combinations for the first/last letter That leaves 3 Ps and 1 other letter for the middle 4 spaces. It doesn't matter which P is placed where, so there are 4 possible combinations here. 6*4=24 total arrangements.
linksfiend Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 1. I couldn't come up with or Subzero or Fidelio. 2. I also got 24. The middle four characters will be three Ps and the leftover non-P (X) which forms 4 combinations -PPPX- -PPXP- -PXPP- -XPPP- The 3 non-Ps give you 6 different combos for the first and last letter: E-4-T E-4-U T-4-E T-4-U U-4-E U-4-T -------- X-24-X
