\r\n" );
document.write( "The answer would be 14! if all the flags of the same color could \r\n" );
document.write( "be told apart.  But since they can't we must divide by the number \r\n" );
document.write( "of ways the 7 blue flags could be rearranged which is 7!, and \r\n" );
document.write( "also by the number of ways the 7 yellow flags could be rearranged\r\n" );
