A standard six-sided die is rolled $7$ times.  You are told that among the rolls, there was one $1,$ one $2$, one $3$, one $4$, one $5$, and two $6$s.  How many possible sequences of rolls could there have been?  (For example, 2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 1, 5 is one possible sequence.)

We can do this using a tactic. 

First, let's find the number of ways we can arrange the 7 rolled numbers. 

We just have 7!=7654321

 

However, we can't just end here. Since there are two 6s, we must account for the duplicates.

We do this by dividing the entire thing by 2!

 

Thus, we just have

7!/2!=2520

 

So our answer is just 2520. 

 

Thanks! :)
