There are 6 choices for the first seat, leaving 5 choices for the second seat. Each of the 6 choices for the first seat can be taken with each of the 5 choices for the second seat. Therefore there are 6 * 5 ways of filling the first two seats. Continuing this reasoning the number of different ways of sitting in the assigned seats is given by:
$$6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1=you\ can\ calculate$$
