In how many ways can we distribute n identical cards of each type A,B,C, or D over 4 persons so that each person has n cards ?
So the order in which they receive the cards does not matter. All that matters is how many cards of each type (A, B, C, or D) each person has. Can this be expressed with combinations depending on the parameter n ?
(So there are n cards of type A, n of type B, n of type C, and n of type D, so 4n cards in total).
