In order to look like you are educated and you care about important things,
you go to a place that sells books by the foot (these places actually exist;
specify the color of books you want, and they send them to you). When your
order is delivered, you �nd that ordering serious books by color means that
you now own 8 identical Bibles (black), 12 identical Qur'ans (green) and 6
identical copies of Marx's Das Kapital (red). In how many ways can you line
up your 26 new books left to right on a bookshelf?
26!/(8!12!6!)
wow - who'd have thought that the entire set of books would contain only three different titles?
