Consider five-dimensional Cartesian space

R5={(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5)∣xi∈R}\mathbb{R}^{5}=\left\{\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}, x_{4}, x_{5}\right) \mid x_{i} \in \mathbb{R}\right\}

and consider the hyperplanes with the following equations:

  • xi=xjx_{i}=x_{j} for every 1≤i<j≤51 \leq i<j \leq 5;
  • x1+x2+x3+x4+x5=−1;x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}+x_{5}=-1 ;
  • x1+x2+x3+x4+x5=0x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}+x_{5}=0;
  • x1+x2+x3+x4+x5=1x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}+x_{5}=1.

Into how many regions do these hyperplanes divide R5\mathbb{R}^{5} ?
