<PRE><B>Question 785001</B>
How many ways are there to stack an ice-cream cone with 4 scoops if the choices are: strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and rhubarb and each scoop must be the same?
Ans: 4P4 = 4! = 24 ways
---------------------------------

And how many ways are there if there are no restrictions on different scoops?
Ans: 4^4 = 256 ways
