Answer 6

let me reread this thing to make sure if got the right idea going ...

well, we know C is out

ok

Answer 9

i think its B

Answer 10

but after one picks, there are 4 out of 14 left, then 3 out of 13, etc ...

right? does this make sense?

Answer 11

kinda

Answer 12

1/5!

Answer 13

it seems that 1/273 was too high

Answer 14

5.4.3.2
----------
15.14.13.12

multiplied by something, for the permutations

Answer 15

it is 1/273

Answer 16

thanks

Answer 17

there is 1/273 of picking one arrangement, we need to determine how many arrangements there are

Answer 18

or that could be it ...

Answer 19

my best educated guess is 1/273, its at least a part of the process

if we multiply it by some x value

x/273 = 12/65, only if x = 252/5, and thats not an integer

x/273 = 1/5, only if x = 273/5, and thats not an integer
