PART 142
''Assuming you have a table of 15 guests and all want to sit next to to the host who is quite a celebrity'', M.G. Wesley expounded, '' assuming the organizers of the party instructed that every one would spend a period of six minutes next to the host, in a one-off interaction sitting next to him......"
"How much time do you think would be spent by the time the 15th guest gets his six minutes with the host'', he added.
"That's easy'', Uli responded, ''that would add up to 90 minutes"
"Good, now assuming the guests are allowed to sit any where they choose except at the head of the table which is reserved for the host.....how many different ways would they sit?
Uli smiled out of the right side of his mouth, ''I assume you already have that worked out.''
