You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
These groups are ordered and personalized, so the order is important.
Therefore, we have a deal with permutations, not with combinations.
The answer is 35*34*33*32 = 1256640 different ordered groups.
Everyone of 35 members can be at the president position;
everyone of the remaining 34 members can be at the vice president position,
. . . and so on . . .
