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

Three convicts are brought into the warden's office. He says he can parole one of them and to decide which one he will parole he takes out 5 hats (3 red and 2 white). He stands behind them and places a hat on each one of their heads and puts the other two remaining hats in a drawer. He tells the prisioners they can look at the others hats and if they can tell which hat they have on they will be the one who is paroled. The first man looks at the other two and says, "I don't know." The second man looks at the others hats and says, "I don't know." The third man who is blind says, "Even though I have not the gift of sight I can tell by what the others have said that the color of my hat is..." What color is the blind mans hat and how does he know?
