Parth (parthkohli):

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i thought you don't know the circle questions?

Parth (parthkohli):

I googled it up and found the formula. lol

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

there could be a trick though...

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

The number of arrangements of n objects in a circle is (n − 1)! Therefore you were right! It is 4! or 24.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so there's no trick?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Not a trick question!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
