Listed above are all of the permutations of the symbols '''A''', '''B''', '''C''', and '''D''', ''except'' for one permutation that's ''not'' listed.
;Task:
Find that missing permutation.
;Methods:
* Obvious method:
enumerate all permutations of '''A''', '''B''', '''C''', and '''D''',
and then look for the missing permutation.
* alternate method:
Hint: if all permutations were shown above, how many
times would '''A''' appear in each position?
What is the ''parity'' of this number?
* another alternate method:
Hint: if you add up the letter values of each column,
does a missing letter '''A''', '''B''', '''C''', and '''D''' from each
column cause the total value for each column to be unique?
