Note: Article III, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by amendment 11. In other words it is now like the pool balls question, but with slightly changed numbers.Constitutional Amendments 1-10 make up what is known as The Bill of Rights. This is like saying 'we have r + (n−1) pool balls and want to choose r of them'. So (being general here) there are r + (n−1) positions, and we want to choose r of them to have circles. Notice that there are always 3 circles (3 scoops of ice cream) and 4 arrows (we need to move 4 times to go from the 1st to 5th container). So instead of worrying about different flavors, we have a simpler question: 'how many different ways can we arrange arrows and circles?' Let's use letters for the flavors: (one of banana, two of vanilla): Let us say there are five flavors of icecream: banana, chocolate, lemon, strawberry and vanilla.
