imagine each of the above as seats with named with numbers. we could start the row from 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 and still 8 people would fit the row. remember, there are no spaces between them. so we have 5 options to start from. again within each arrangement, the people could be positioned in 8! or 8P8 ways :D
so the answer is 5*8!
