Dan is juggling a basketball, a tennis ball, a soccer ball, a ping-pong ball, and a bowling ball. He drops at

least one item, but not all of them. How many possible sequences of the balls hitting the floor are there?
For example, some possible sequences are a tennis ball; a basketball and then a tennis ball; or a ping-pong
ball, a bowling ball, and then a basketball.
