Bright as buttons ...


My coat has three different buttons. Sometimes I do them up starting with the top button. Sometimes I start somewhere else.

How many ways can you find to do up my coat?
What if my coat had four buttons?

    If you had 3 buttons you can do it up 6 different ways to do it. You can do up your buttons starting from the top and then go to the bottom and then go to the middle. If you have four buttons you haver 24 ways to do it and for 5 buttons we predict 120.
