That statement is ambiguous to me.

Is the question referring to absolute positions or relative positions?

Not quite sure!

ajith, "each's positions in an arrangement is different" seems to imply absolute positions. In that respect, i guess the phoenix's solution is correct.

In which case, what they meant was a simple circular permutation = (n-1)! = 4!

The question is very poorly worded though
