How many ways can we rearange the letters in the word MISSISSIPPI? In this video I show you how and why. At 4:00 there is a mistake. I can't seem to count to 5. So that problem should be 5*4*3*2*1 or 120 ways.

Can you solve this for me please
Find the number of distinct three-letter words obtainable from the letters A, B, C, D
and E, in which E may occur 0, 1 or 2 times, but the rest of the letters may occur
only once.

Mississippi ends up reducing to 11*10*9*7*5=34650 (In the video the answer is correct but doesn't say to multiply by the 5 as well)

How many ways can you arrange the letters H, O, N, E, S, T?

So what you're trying to say is that, how many duplicate letters you have is your factorial amount?
Example is the word "BUBBLES" there are 7 letters and B has 3 duplicate.
Thus, the formula to solve this is 7!/3! ?

I’m sure it’s explained here but I’m too dumb to get it. On another channel, the numberphile did a video on the enigma machine.
Anyway he did something similar to this but the machine could also pair letters up to 10 pairs. I guessed it would be more of a combination nCr vs nPr. He just divided by 2 to remove the repeats. I’m sure none of what I wrote would make sense without watching it, but I’d appreciate any help explaining his formula. Thanks for this video by the way
