Dear all

This has been puzzling me for a while:

Assuming a block size of 6 to randomise equivalent numbers to three
different treatment groups (A,B,C), how do I find out what the total
different number of combinations of AABBCC etc are, short of working it out
by hand?

Straight permutation (6x5x4x3x2x1) does not seem to give the answer as I can
only work out 40 odd different combinations and the permutation suggests
720. Is there another formula to use?

Any help would be gratefully received.
