Re: arrangement of words
Hi;
I am a bit confused with the constraints. If no letter is as its previous places... then how can the consonants and the vowels be in the same position? Can you copy the problem exactly as it is stated?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: arrangement of words
Hmmm, the answer is over 276 million? Can I see just one of them for an example?
