Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The word COLORADO has 8 letters with the letter O repeated twice. The number of distinguishable permutations is calculated using the formula: 8! / 2! = 40,320 / 2 = 20,160. However, the correct calculation should be 8! / (2!2!) = 40,320 / 4 = 10,080. The correct answer is not listed, but the closest is 6720, which is incorrect.
