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)

The requirement is that no two men stand next to each other, so I believe it would as long as all the (|)'s are used.

Wouldn't it just be the number of spaces around the women choose 6? |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| if this picture makes sense... should be 11, right? one between each pair of women then one on the far left and one on the far right--Spfeifer 20:19, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
