A car license plate contains three letters followed by four digits.
How many different plates can be made if no two consecutive letters can be the same,
if the letters I, O and Q cannot be used, and if the number 0 cannot be used?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In all, 26-3 = 23 letters and 10-1 = 9 digits are used.
Under imposed conditions, the letters give us the factors 23*22*22;
the digits give the factors  .
So, the final number of all possible plates is  = 73,037,052. ANSWER
Solved.
