Representing Actions as Permutations

The idea is that if you must do a fixed number of operations of multiple types, you can make those operations letters, and permutate them. For example, if you have a grid of \(4\times 6\) and you want to walk from one corner to the opposite one, WLOG you need to go up \(4\) times and right \(6\) times. You can do that in any order, so basically you are arranging 

   UUUURRRRRR

which simplifies the problem.

Example: 2024 AMC 8 Problems/Problem 13. In this problem you can treat going up as \(U\) and going down as \(D\). Since you have to end up on the ground in \(6\) steps you have \(3\) U's and \(3\) D's; same as above. There are some special cases --- begin with U end with D and invalid stuff.
