Question 764606: Suppose you have 5 beads: 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 blue, and 2 green, and you want to arrange them on a necklace. (Remember that the necklace can be rotated, so for example the order YRBGG is the same as the order BGGYR, and the necklace can also be flipped over, so the order YRBGG is the same as the order GGBRY.) How many unique ways can the beads be arranged on the necklace? Answer by DrBeeee(684) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! None are unique. For every arrangement you come up with, all you need to do is turn the necklace over and (according to the problem statement) the arrangement is the same. Hence not unique!
