The document discusses circular permutations, which refers to the number of arrangements that can be made of n objects arranged in a circle. It gives the formula for calculating circular permutations as (n-1)!. It provides examples of using this formula to calculate the number of ways to seat people or arrange beads in a circular configuration. It also discusses a special case where the objects can be flipped over, in which case the formula is (n-1)!/2. Finally, it asks how many ways 4 married couples can be seated at a circular table if spouses sit opposite each other or if men and women alternate.
