\n" );
document.write( "If you think of the plate has having 5 characters, then:\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "The first character has 8 possible values ('2', '3', ..., '9')
\n" );
document.write( "The 2nd character has 10 possible values
\n" );
document.write( "The 3rd character has 10 possible values
\n" );
document.write( "The 4th character has 23 possible values (the 26 letters of the alphabet minus 'I', 'O', and 'U')
\n" );
document.write( "The 5th character has 23 possible values\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "In all, there are 8*10*10*23*23 = 423200 possible values
