The Georgeooga-Harryooga Theorem states that if you have $a$ distinguishable objects and $b$ of them cannot be together, then there are $\frac{(a-b)!(a-b+1)!}{(a-2b+1)!}$ ways to arrange the objects.

Proofs

Proof 1

Let our group of $a$ objects be represented like so $1$ , $2$ , $3$ , ..., $a-1$ , $a$ . Let the last $b$ objects be the ones we can't have together.

Then we can organize our objects like so $1\square2\square3\square...\square a-b-1\square a-b$

We have $(a-b)!$ ways to arrange the objects in that list.

Now we have $a-b+1$ blanks so we have $_{a-b+1}P_{b}=\frac{(a-b+1)!}{(a-2b+1)!}$ ways to arrange the objects we can't put together

By fundamental counting principal our final answer is $\frac{(a-b)!(a-b+1)!}{(a-2b+1)!}$ .
