\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "First we calculate the number of distinguishable arrangements\r\n" );
document.write( "with no restrictions:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " =  = 840\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then we calculate the number that start with A.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Every one of those is a distinguishable arrangement of NAGRAM\r\n" );
document.write( "with an A inserted in the front.  So the number that start with \r\n" );
document.write( "A is:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " =  = 360\r\n" );
document.write( "  \r\n" );
document.write( "So we subtract 360 from the 840\r\n" );
