You have 4 reindeer, Bloopin, Balthazar, Gloopin, and Prancer, and you want to have 3 fly your sleigh. You always have your reindeer fly in a single-file line.
How many different ways can you arrange your reindeer?

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.

lol.

it's ok we all do this sometimes.
