@bunyonb oh I feel quite embarrassed haha as I have just realised that I misread the question 🙈 I read it as 4 men not 3 so my working is based on there being 6 people not 5.
5! - (4! × 2) = 120 - 48 = 72
So there are actually 72 combinations, a big difference to my first answer! Sorry about that haha
@Ayesha-Khan I wouldn't go back because either I would have my memory from this life and I would spend my new life always comparing the 2 lives or wondering "what if" or I wouldn't have my memory of this life in which the life I have lived thus far would have been worthless
@sarah sorry Sarah I prefer private chat as it's easier to have meaningful conversations, also I'm new to the site and find the public chat rooms harder to keep up with
@GirlNextDoor thats an easy one there are loads of answers... teabag, biscuit dipped in drink, cereal in milk, clothes in washing machine, sponge in water etc.
@Scoop87 I would rather smack the ignorant person, not that I would, but it's fun to imagine haha
@bunyonb I wouldn't know if u were missing out rules without knowing your working towards the problem and also I'm not overly familiar with the subject myself haha
There are 720 ways in which 6 people can be seated in a row. However 240 of those ways would have the 2 women next to eachother so subtract 240 from 720 and the answer is 480. There are 480 ways in which they can be seated without the women being next to eachother.
6! - (5! × 2) = 720-240 = 480.
