Ultima
We are given the word "ULTIMA". We are to find the number of distinct permutations of its letters.
Steps:
Count the frequency of each letter.
Use the formula for permutations of multiset: n! / (f1! * f2! * ... * fk!)
Let's break down the word "ULTIMA":
U: 1, L: 1, T: 1, I: 1, M: 1, A: 1.
All letters are unique. Therefore, the number of distinct permutations is 6!.
However, let me double-check the word: "ULTIMA" has 6 distinct letters.
So, the number of distinct permutations is 6! = 720.
But wait, the problem might be case-sensitive? The word is given in uppercase. We assume all letters are uppercase and distinct.
However, if the problem intended to have repeated letters, let's recount:
U: appears once
L: once
T: once
I: once
M: once
A: once.
Therefore, no repeated letters.
Answer: 720.
But note: sometimes problems might have repeated letters. Let me write the word: U-L-T-I-M-A -> 6 distinct.
However, what if the problem is about a word that might have been misspelled? But the input is "ULTIMA".
Alternatively, if we consider the word as given, we have 6 distinct letters.
But wait, let me check:
U, L, T, I, M, A -> all different.
So the answer is 720.
However, the problem says "ULTIMA", and if we look at the word, it has 6 letters. So:
6! = 720.
But let me consider if there is any constraint? The problem does not specify any constraints.
Therefore, the answer is 720.
However, I recall that sometimes problems might have repeated letters. Let me check again:
U: 1
L: 1
T: 1
I: 1
M: 1
A: 1
So, no repetition.
Alternatively, if the word was "ULTIMAT" (with two T's) then we would have 7 letters with T repeated twice.
But the given word is "ULTIMA", which has 6 letters.
Therefore, the distinct permutations are 720.
But note: the problem might be about the word "Ultima" (with a capital U and the rest lowercase) but the problem is given in uppercase.
Since the problem is given in uppercase, we treat all as uppercase and distinct.
Final answer: 720.
The word "ULTIMA" consists of 6 distinct letters: U, L, T, I, M, and A. Since all letters are unique, the number of distinct permutations is given by the factorial of the number of letters.
Number of letters, ( n = 6 )
Formula for permutations of distinct items: ( n! )
Calculation: ( 6! = 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 720 )
Thus, there are 720 distinct permutations of the letters in "ULTIMA".
Okay, the user wrote "Ultima". That's the name of a classic RPG series by Origin Systems. Let me think about what they might be asking for.
First, they could be asking about the series itself, like the different games in the series. There's Ultima I to IX, right? Each has its own story and setting. Maybe they want a summary or a comparison.
Alternatively, "Ultima" could be a typo. Maybe they meant "Ultima Online" or "Ultima IV". Or perhaps they're referring to the Ultima series in general. Let me check if there's a more recent game, but I think the main series ended with Ultima IX. There's also Ultima Online, which is an MMORPG.
Another angle: "Ultima" in Spanish means "last" or "end". Could they be asking about something related to that? Maybe the last game in the series, which is Ultima IX: Ascension. Or maybe they're referring to the end of the series.
I should also consider if they want recommendations for games similar to Ultima. The series is known for its open-world exploration, storytelling, and moral choices. Games like The Elder Scrolls, Neverwinter Nights, or even Mass Effect might come to mind.
Wait, the user might just be testing if I know what "Ultima" refers to. Since the previous response was about the series, maybe they want more details. Let me structure the answer to cover the basics of the series, key titles, and perhaps some notable features.
I should mention the creator, Richard Garriott, and how the series evolved. Also, the shift from single-player to online games like Ultima Online. Maybe touch on the legacy and influence on other RPGs.
Need to make sure the information is accurate. Let me confirm the release dates and key elements of each game. For example, Ultima I was 1985, Ultima Online in 1997, and Ultima IX in 2001. The series is known for its fantasy setting, the land of Avatar, and the journey to become the Avatar.
Also, possible to mention the Ultima Underworld games, which were spin-offs. And the recent attempts to bring the series back, like Ultima 10: Lost Numbers, but that didn't get much attention.

If the user is looking for gameplay tips or where to find the games, I should ask for clarification. But since the query is just "Ultima", a general overview is probably best.
I should also check if there's any confusion with other games named Ultima, but I think the RPG series is the most prominent. Maybe mention that "Ultima" can refer to other things, but the primary reference is the RPG series.
Alright, time to put this together in a clear, concise answer that covers the series, its history, notable games, and legacy. Make sure to invite the user to ask more specific questions if needed.
