document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "If Kate won gold, then for the rest candidates there are 4*3 = 12 possible permutations.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "These three sets of permutations with 12 elements in each set, are DISGIUNT, \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
