It doesn't matter that there are 3 benches.
It doesn't matter that they sit in pairs.
That was put in there just to throw you off.
All that matters is that there are 6 places for 6 people to sit.
The problem would be the same if there were 6 chairs in a row.
That's
6 things, Position 6
or
6P6
or
6!
