Well a student of mine came to me with the following question and I am completely helpless. can somone help??
Question: I need to get the number of sequences of length 20 consisting of 8 X chars, 7 Y chars and 5 Z chars in which no two Z chars appear adjacently, and X,Y do not appear adjacently.
I tryed sevral ways but there are simply too much options to consider.
Thanks Alisha.
