The first letter can be any one of 5. For each of those . . .
The second letter can be any one of the remaining 4. For each of those . . .
The third letter can be any one of the remaining 3. For each of those . . .
The fourth letter can be any one of the remaining 2. For either of those . . .
The fifth letter is the last remaining one.

Total number of possibilities = (5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) =

120 ways to line them up.

Now, may I say that being a hater of school is not something that
makes you cool. Maybe it does make you one of the crowd, but life
is not a war between you and school. School is simply something that
a lot of grown-ups spend a lot of money on, and a lot of teachers spend
their whole life on, to make sure that a lot of kids won't go through their
whole life stupid. You can learn everything you ever want to know there,
and it's all free. That's a pretty good deal.
