CURRICULUM

That's a 10-letter word, and if we could tell the 2 C's, the 3 U's, and the 2
R's apart, the answer would be 10!.  But since we can't tell them apart, we
have to divide that 10! by the number of ways each of those C's, U's, and R's
could be rearranged in each permutation.  So the answer is:

10%21%2F%282%213%212%21%29 = 151300
