Document Summary

7 different letters to arrange (in a row) Due to not all letters bring different, we try a new approach. We have 7 placeholders" label with our letters. Some questions have labels that can"t be told apart. There are 2 ways to tell labels apart: different names. Blue plate , home team , volvo : different sizes. The plate holding 5 cookies , the team with 6 players , the car carrying 9 people . In the absence of these absolute ways to tell groups apart, they can only be distinguished by the members in the group ( relative information) Ex: ian is on the same team as robin. If you have k labels that cannot be distinguished, answer the question with. The coach wants to separate then into 3 teams. The teams will have 6 players, 5 players, 4 players on them.
