i think it can be solved this way.. not sure though..
if the first one to sit sits at one end then.. everybody will hav only 1 way to sit... ie 1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1 =1
now if he sits in 2 nd seat then second person will have 2 ways and the rest will have 1 way.. which =2
now if he sits in the 2nd seat 2nd and 3rd person will be having 2 chances each so it will be 4 if this is continued..
1+2+4+6+8+6+4+2+1=21+21=42 ways.. pls correct me if i am wrong
