14. A penny for their thoughts. Suppose you had infinitely many people, each one wearing a uniquely numbered button: 1, 2, 3,4, 5,... (you can use all the people in the Hotel Cardinality if you don't know enough people yourself). You also have lots of pennies (infinitely many, so you're really rich; but don't try to carry them all around at once). Now you give each person a penny; then ask everyone to flip his or her penny at the same time. Then ask them to shout out in order what they flipped (H for heads and T for tails). So you might hear: HHTHHTTTHTTHTHTHTHHHTH...or you might hear THTTTH THHTTHTHTTTTTHHHTHTHTH. . . , and so forth. Consider the set of all possible outcomes of their flipping (all possible sequences of H's and T's). Does the set of possible outcomes have the same cardinality as the natural numbers? Justify your answer.

Suppose that the captain of a ship that is in distress must send a total of eleven different signals in succession. The eleven signals com- prise of 4 blue light signals (B1, B2, B3 and B4), 4 purple light signals (P1, P2, P3 and P4) and 3 red light signals (R1, R2 and R3). He must send the signals one after another at 1 minute intervals. In how many different ways may the captain send the signals if the purple light signals are the first 4 signals and the red light signals are the last 3 signals? [Answer]
