This was the question:
Here is one that is just a little different.
Suzie has 10 different coloured beads. She uses these beads to make a bracelet.
This bracelet does not have a clasp so there is really no beginning or end (but there is clockwise and anticlockwise)
How many different permutations of beads are possible ?
----------------------------------------
Your answer was 10!
If these beadswere placed in a row your answer would have been correct, but when you put the beads in a circle there is no distict start point so you have to put the first bead down to indicate first place. Now there are 9 beads (not 10 ) that need to be organised around this initial bead.
so the answer is 9! $${\mathtt{9}}{!} = {\mathtt{362\,880}}$$ so if you go clockwise (or anticlockwise) from any specific point there will be 362 880 possible permutations.
