Hi,
Can you make your question more specific?
Are the rings identical/different?
Are there any constraints such as each of the fingers should have at least one ring or is it fine to have all 5 rings to one finger?
Cheers!

Things are not what they appear to be... nor are they otherwise

Frankenstein asks good questions.
I'll add one more: "Does the order of the rings on a particular finger matter"

For example, if a finger has rings A and B on it, does ring A above ring B count as a different arrangement as ring B above ring A?

Cheers,
Brent

Hi this is the way the question was presented to me, so I can't infer anything about it. If it helps the OA is 3^5.
