    Yes; but the comment you refer to is about an answer ("in that post") that treated them as R1 and R2: So it isn't yet answering the...

    Now I'm really confused. I looked at REGULAR very carefully. Does one of the R's have red hair? Is one of the R's taller? Just how...

    I hope it's obvious that I meant to say, "Have you tried treating R and R as being indistinguishable?" The error, if we call it that...
  • Dr.Peterson
    Clearly this is not correct. Have you tried treating R and R as being different? It isn't a lot harder. I notice that there are online...

    I believe in that post two R's are considered different (R1 and R2), so there are actually 5040 ways.

    I'm confused. How are you defining rank? There are 2520 ways to arrange REGULAR. So how can one of them have rank 3045?

    To find the exit angle, you can equate the perpendicular (lateral) distances from the robot path to each object vector. For an object...

    A in first place 6!, E in first place another 6!, likewise for G and L in first place total 2880. Now R1A fixed : 5!=120 R1EA : 4! = 24...

    Okay I assume REGULAR could be arranged as AEGLR1R2U in dictionary order. Assuming R1 and R2 separate alphabets, I think REGULAR rank...

    Do you know how to figure out the rank of a "regular" permutation, i.e. the one without repeated elements? E.g. what is the order of...

    I guess you are almost there. Must be a minor mistake of adding 1 to get the rank. I tried with prototype MUSIC. I got 72nd rank...

    I tried to follow the same strategy that you used. I'm not sure but I think: Starting with: A there are \dfrac{6!}{2!}=360 ways D there...
