the word COMMITTEE has 9 letters so 9!= permutation of that word,b ut...
since the letters M, T and E are repeated each twice, there will be words that are indestinguishable from each othe because one M is not different from the other M, and same for the T and E.

So we need to back these words out.

answer: 9!/(2!*2!*2!)= 45360
