You can put this solution on YOUR website! there are 11 people in an office with 3 different phone lines.

people can answer these lines?
Choose the person to answer the first phone in 11 ways.
That leaves 10 people to choose to answer the second phone.
That leaves 9 people to choose to answer the third phone.
Answer 11*10*9 = 11P3 = 990 ways
