Question

Ben throws four identical darts. Each hits one of four identical dartboards on the wall. After throwing the four darts, he lists the number of darts that hit each board, from greatest to least. How many different lists are possible

Answer 1

Based on the fact that the identical darts were thrown at four identical dartboards and Ben took a list, the number of different lists possible is 5 lists.

How many lists are possible?

If all the darts hit on dartboard then the list would be:

= 0004

If one dart hit a dartboard and three hit one dartboard the list would be:

= 0031

If two darts hit two boards:

= 0022

If two darts hit one board, 1 dart two others:
= 0211

If all darts hit separate boards;

= 1111

This means that 5 lists are possible to Ben.
