Just think of doing it.
ten choices on the 1st seat
9 choices on the 2nd seat
8 choices on the 3rd seat.
etc.

Ans: 10! = 3,628,800 ways

Hint: On most of these "selection" problems
you have to think of doing the selections
one at a time. You can't just think of 10
people walking into a room with 10 chairs
and sitting down.
