Question 83883: Hello...
If the 5 cards shown above (each is different) are placed in a row so that the highlighted one (in the center in this diagram) is never at either end, how many different arrangements are possible?

There are 3 ways to place the "special" card.
There are 4! = 24 ways to place the other 4 cards.
Therefore there are 3*24 = 72 ways to place the five cards.
