The international alphabet contains \(26\) letters. The letters of this alphabet and the digits from \(0\) to \(9\) are used to form a code of the length \(4\) (a code contains \(4\) characters). The characters may repeat through the code and the code is not case sensitive (uppercase letters are equivalent to lowercase letters). How many codes can be obtained?
\(36^{4}=1\:679\:616\)
\(10\cdot 26^{4}=4\:569\:760\)
\(\frac{36!} {32!\, 4!}=58\:905\)
\(\frac{26!} {22!\, 4!}=14\:950\)

The shooting club has \(25\) members. Among the members it is necessary to vote a board: a president, a cashier and a webmaster. One person cannot have more than one of these positions and there is only one member skilled enough to be a webmaster. How many possibilities exist to set up the board?
\(24\cdot 23=552\)
\(25\cdot 24=600\)
\(24\cdot 23\cdot 22=12\:144\)
\(25\cdot 24\cdot 23=13\:800\)

There are \(20\) tablets in an e-shop. From this amount \(18\) tablets are new and \(2\) tablets have been returned by customers. The e-shop manager gets an order containing three tablets and he wants to get rid of the returned tablets first. How many possibilities exist to complete the order?
\(18\)
\(\frac{18!} {3!\; 15!}=816\)
\(18\cdot 16\cdot 3=864\)
\(20\cdot 19\cdot 18=6\:840\)
