12 blocks are arranged in a row having 12 places

---- , ---,---- , ---,---- , ---,---- , ---,---- , ---,---- , ---

12 blocks can be used in first place. 11 blocks can be used in second place.

10 blocks can be used in third place and so on

12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 ,3, 2, 1

12 * 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 can be written as 12!

12! = 12 * 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 479,001,600

She can make 479,001,600 different arrangements.
