You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are 10 symbols available.
\n" ); document.write( "Since each word has 10 symbols,
\n" ); document.write( "all available symbols will be used.
\n" ); document.write( "If all 10 symbols were distinguishable from one another,
\n" ); document.write( "you could make \"10%21=3628800\" .
\n" ); document.write( "However, there are
\n" ); document.write( "3 *,
\n" ); document.write( "2 @,
\n" ); document.write( "4 #, and 1 $.
\n" ); document.write( "Secretly marking the repeat symbols,
\n" ); document.write( "in a way only you could notice,
\n" ); document.write( "you would realize that
\n" ); document.write( "interchanging the \"2\" @ you can make
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%21=2\" copies of each word that look identical to everyone else.
\n" ); document.write( "Similarly, interchanging only the \"3\" *,
\n" ); document.write( "you can make \"3%21=6\" versions of each word that only you can distinguish,
\n" ); document.write( "and you can make \"4%21=24\" versions of each word by playing with the # symbols.
\n" ); document.write( "Playing with all of the repeated symbols,
\n" ); document.write( "you could make \"2%21%2A3%21%2A4%21=2%2A6%2A24=288\" versions of each word.
\n" ); document.write( "So, although you would distinguish among \"288\" replicates of each word,
\n" ); document.write( "to see \"3628800\" different strings of characters,
\n" ); document.write( "there would be only
\n" ); document.write( "\"3628800%2F288=highlight%2812600%29\" different words.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
