Im going to let the B mark the beginning. Now I have 5 more beads and 2 are the same. So I think that is 5!/2! = 60 ways
Lets try it a different way
Let a red mark the beginning then I have 5!/2 which will still equals 60
So I think the answer is 60. Oh dear I have accounted for rotation but not for reflection.
I did work out how to deal with reflection before but I have forgotten.....
So the answer is less than 60.
I think Just divide by 2
So my best guess is that the answer is 30
Let us know when you find out the given answer.
