My work is done here. Thank you.

anonymous · Answer

we not in it for thanks or medals :P

anonymous · Answer

if you could tell all 7 letters apart it would be $7!$ but since there are 3 indistinguishable "s" it is $\frac{7!}{3!}$

parthkohli · Answer

Please don't go further, satellite.

anonymous · Answer

compute via $$\frac{7!}{3!}=7\times 6\times 5\times 4$$ there are a lot of rules around here these days
