imagine each of the above as seats with named with numbers. we could start the row from 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 and still 8 people would fit the row. remember, there are no spaces between them. so we have 5 options to start from. again within each arrangement, the people could be positioned in 8! or 8P8 ways :D
so the answer is 5*8!

How was the paper guys ??
Why has no one posted anything yet?
Anika Raisa Alice123 syed1995 MustafaMotani PhyZac Dug and all the stats people ??

The site was down. My paper went awesome.. it was quite easy actually.. compared to papers of 2010 and 2011.. If I hadn't misread a question and remembered what I had to do in that n and k question I would have gotten 50/50 :D but oh well.. Insha Allah should get around 40 or so. You?
