Cute Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 The host of a dinner party must determine how to seat himself and five guests around a circular table. How many different seating arrangements are possible of the host always chooses the same seat for himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego2401 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 yep. 5! This is a circular permutation. It doesnt matter where the man sits, what matters is the order around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
