\n" ); document.write( "to do this a opposite b, and then switch
\n" ); document.write( "seats, b opposite a
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "They can do this for 6 seats to make all the
\n" ); document.write( "possibilities, so $\"+2%2A6+=+12+\"$ possible
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "There are 10 seats left once they are seated,

\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%2A9+%2A8%2A7+%2A6+%2A5%2A4%2A3%2A2%2A1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factoring in the seatings for the opposite ones,
\n" ); document.write( "I get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+12%2A10%2A9%2A8%2A7%2A6%2A5%2A4%2A3%2A2%2A1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You can do the math
\n" ); document.write( "Hope I got it
