If $ \{ y_n \} $ is eventually constant, we're done. So suppose that the seq...

<p>Imagine there are two different $6$'s, say $6_a$ and $6_b$. Then there would be $4!=24$ permutations. Now let the two $6$'s be the same, so $(6_a,7,5,6_b)=(6_b,7,5,6_a).$ This halves the number of permutations, giving the answer of $24/2=12$.</p>
