Of 10 candidates, the first 6 are being interviewed in the morning, and the last 4 in the afternoon. In how many ways can the interviewer arrange a schedule?
----------
Choose 6 in the morning: 10C6 = 210 ways
Arrange those 6 in some order = 6!=720 ways
----------
Choose 4 for the afternoon: 4C4 = 1
Arrange those 4 in some order = 4! = 24 ways
------------
Total # of ways to arrange 210*720*24 = 3,628,800
