There are only n! possible ways to rank them if you prohibit partial
rankings.  There are many more than n! when partial rankings are
permitted, as in US elections. I include the formula for calculating
the number of rankings in my "Realities Mar Instant ..." linked below.
 However, perhaps you are simplifying for the purposes of your
simplification, so it doesn't matter?
