I made a mistake on my first solution. Here is the correct version:
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "The values of the coins are irrelevant. Also, the probabilities of\r\n" );
document.write( "selecting coins is also irrelevant.  [In future problems like this\r\n" );
document.write( "they will be relevant].  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "But all that matters is that you started with 6 coins, two pairs \r\n" );
document.write( "and two singles, where each member of each pair is indistinguishable \r\n" );
document.write( "from the other member of that pair.  Say, the 6 coins are AABBCD.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Case 1. You choose one of the A's not to replace. You have left ABBCD.\r\n" );
document.write( "You can then choose AB,AC,AD,BB,BC,BD,CD\r\n" );
document.write( "There are 7 outcomes.  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Case 2. You choose one of the B's not to replaced.  Same as case 1. \r\n" );
document.write( "There are 7 outcomes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Case 3. You choose the C not to replace. You have left AABBD.\r\n" );
document.write( "You can then choose AA,AB,AD,BB,BD\r\n" );
document.write( "There are 5 outcomes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Case 4. You choose the D not to replace.  Same as case 3. \r\n" );
document.write( "There are 5 outcomes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Total = 7+7+5+5=22 possible outcomes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
