Question 473682: This is a real life question, just curious how to figure it. I have a ceiling fan part with 4 connections (labeled L,1,2,and 3) and 4 different colors of wires (purple, black, yellow and grey.) How many possible combinations would I have if I didn't know what color of wire went into which connector?
