Question 597806: An order of award presentations has been devised for 7 people: Jeff, Karen, Lyle, Maria, Norm, Olivia, and Paul...
In how many ways can teh first award be presented to Karen and the last to Lyle?

Since Karen and Lyle are locked in the first and last slots, this means that there are really 7-2 = 5 free slots left.

So there are 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 different ways to present the awards.
