Revolver has eight letters. Assuming you do not care if you make words, there are 40,320 permutations for arranging those eight letters, if you do not count the repeated e's and v's and r's8! = 40,320 = (1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8)We must take this result and divide out the repeated elements. Since there are 2 e's, 2 v's and 2 r's:40,320/(2!2!2!) = 5040.

If you have 4 DIFFERENT letters, there are 24 ways - this is equal to 4! (that is, the factorial of 4). Because of the two repeated letters, if you do this, you get every valid combination repeated twice (i.e., by exchanging one "a" with the other "a" you get an identical combination). Therefore the real number of arrangements is only one-half that value.

At first glance, it seems that the sequence is: +2, -1, -1, and every other number is written twice. However, these are the lengths of the words that represent digits 1 through 10 in English. One - 3 letters Two - 3 letters Three - 5 letters Four - 4 letters Five - 4 letters Six - 3 letters Seven - 5 letters Eight - 5 letters Nine - 4 letters Ten - 3 letters So while the sequence at the top seems to hold, the problem is that it breaks after the first ten digits. Eleven - 6 letters Twelve - 6 letters Thirteen - 8 letters Fourteen - 8 letters Fifteen - 7 letters Sixteen - 7 letters Seventeen - 9 letters Eighteen - 8 letters
Given two letters, there are two ways to arrange them; first then second, or second then first. The way the question is worded, the other letters of the word do not matter.
