                Last Problem of the Week this year! Having a bit of trouble with it: In how many ways can seven basketball players of different heights line up in a single row so that no player is standing between two people taller than she is? 
Does it have anything to do with 7! or am I on the wrong track completely?

    They could line up in ascending order of height.

    Is this the only solution? I do apologise for sounding rude, but they are generally more difficult than they appear.

    The other solution is lining up in descending order.  
These solutions work. I don't see any reason to complicate this problem. :-)
