5 rings, 4 fingers
1st ring can be worn on any of the 4 fingers => 4 possibilities
2nd ring can be worn on any of the 4 fingers => 4 possibilities
3rd ring can be worn on any of the 4 fingers => 4 possibilities
4th ring can be worn on any of the 4 fingers => 4 possibilities
5th ring can be worn on any of the 4 fingers => 4 possibilities

Total possibilities = 4*4*4*4*4 = 4^5.
