Any hints for this problem?
I used the ---|---| method. I placed the 10 women (-) and then the men (|) and then used 16 choose 6. Im not sure if this is absolutely correct but it was the direction I went.
I started to do the same thing, but is the requirement met that no more than two women stand next to each other? I guess I'm still a little confused. --Rhollowe 16:44, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
