Please help! Will MEDAL AND FAN We have 8 pieces of strawberry candy and 7 pieces of pineapple candy. In how many ways can we distribute this candy to 4 kids?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

48=65,536 options. BUT of course, that isn't accounting for duplicate distributions, e.g., kid 1 gets pieces 1-4 and kid 2 gets 5-8 is no different than kid 2 gets 1-4 and kid 2 gets 5-8.... and I can't quite figure out how to count and factor out those duplicates!??
