An anthropologist discovers an isolated tribe whose written
alphabet contains only six letters (call the letters A, B,
C, D, E and F). The tribe has a taboo against using the same
letter twice in the same word. It's never done.
If each different sequence of letters constitues a different
word in the language, what is the maximum number of
six-letter words that the language can employ?

Answer / guest
The language can employ maximum of 720 six-letter words.
It is a simple permutation problem of arranging 6 letters to
get different six-letter words. And it can be done in in 6!
ways i.e. 720 ways.
In otherwords, the first letter can be any of the given 6
letters (A through F). Then, whatever the first letter is,
the second letter will always be from the remaining 5
letters (as same letter can not be used twice), and the
third letter always be from the remaining 4 letters, and so
on. Thus, the different possible six-letter words are
6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720

In a kingdom far far away, the King decided that the time has come to find a husband for his princess daughter. The King wanted to find a worthy lad for his princess, so he promised to give his daughter away to the first young (or old) man who would solve the puzzle that has stumped the best of his court mathematicians for years. The puzzle is very simple: in a palace, there are 25 rooms arranged in a square--5 rows of rooms with 5 rooms in each row. In every room there is a light switch which not only switches on/off the light in that room, but also switches the lights in the adjacent rooms--the room to the right, to the left, the room above and the room below. Initially, all of the lights are turned off. The goal is to turn the lights on in every room of the palace.
