Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
So, I read the solution to this problem, because I could only work it out with a lot of casework (I did get the right answer), but this question wasn't supposed to be that time consuming.
So, here's what I read--
No. of ways = 6C2 * 4C2 * 2C2 = 90
That doesn't make much sense to me. Help?
