Assignment 6 Preparation

Concerning question 2 i, why do the hints and partial solutions say that the answer for the number of rearrangments for Charlie are 5! and not 7! ?

That would be because I left a deliberate mistake in there to check that people were paying attention...

Not really - many thanks for pointing this out!
