sorry, no pictures here.

If 20 fit across top and bottom, that's 40.
The sides hold 12, but top and bottom are already taken at the corners, leaving room for 10 more along the sides. That makes 20 more for both sides.

So, you will have 60 pictures in all.
Since you have 3 different pictures, I guess you can figure how many of each you will need . . .

you could also have figured this out by spending 5 minutes drawing the border . . .
Three letters are chosen at random from the letters P, A, N, S, O, L. What is the size of the sample space of this experiment? Assume that the order of the letters matters. That is, PAN is different from APN.
