However, at least something surprising: There are 234 ways five children out of six can form a ring around another child if you allow them to turn around and change place. That's quite a lot of options ... Now imagine how many there have to be for twenty ...*
The problem isn't described optimally (though I'm convinced it's mathematically satisfying) here:
That's why I had to research it a bit.
Sorry, couldn't come up with anything more practical or funny ...
