Question 1117410: i) How many possible signals can be formed (e.g. 1st flag green, 2nd green, 3rd red, 4th
green, 5th blue, 6th blue, is one possible signal)?
ii) What is the probability that a signal formed will find the 6 flags in this configuration
(but not only in this order): 3 green flags, 2 blue and 1 red?
