Jonathan, Ellergy, and 3 other groomsmen are rehearsing for a wedding by walking an aisle 1 at a time, 1 groomsman in front of eachother. Each time, all 5 walk down the aisle, the groom tells them to walk in a different order, from 1st to last. What is the greatest number of times the groomsmen can walk down the aisle, without walking in the same order twice?

Sorry...got interrupted. The question boils down to how many different combinations can there be for 5 items (groomsmen in this case). The answer would simply be 5! since there are 5 people and each can only be used once.
