Problem
In how many ways can 
juniors and seniors form 
disjoint teams of 
people so
that each team has 
juniors and seniors?
Solution 1
The number of ways in which we can choose the juniors for the team are 
. Similarly, the number of ways to choose the seniors are the same, so the total is 
. But we must divide the number of permutations of three teams, since the order in which the teams were chosen never mattered, which is 
. Thus the answer is 
.
