A group of 9 students, $s _ { 1 } , s _ { 2 } , \ldots , s _ { 9 }$, is to be divided to form three teams $X , Y$, and $Z$ of sizes 2,3 , and 4 , respectively. Suppose that $s _ { 1 }$ cannot be selected for the team $X$, and $s _ { 2 }$ cannot be selected for the team $Y$. Then the number of ways to form such teams, is $\_\_\_\_$ .

The set $S = \{ 1,2,3 , \ldots , 12 )$ is to be partitioned into three sets $A , B , C$ of equal size. Thus, $A \cup B \cup C = S , A \cap B = B \cap C = A \cap C = \phi$. The number of ways to partition $S$ is
(1) $\frac { 12 ! } { 3 ! ( 4 ! ) ^ { 3 } }$
(2) $\frac { 12 ! } { 3 ! ( 3 ! ) ^ { 4 } }$
(3) $\frac { 12 ! } { ( 4 ! ) ^ { 3 } }$
(4) $\frac { 12 ! } { ( 3 ! ) ^ { 4 } }$

Let the set $S = \{ 2,4,8,16 , \ldots , 512 \}$ be partitioned into 3 sets $A , B , C$ with equal number of elements such that $\mathrm { A } \cup \mathrm { B } \cup \mathrm { C } = \mathrm { S }$ and $\mathrm { A } \cap \mathrm { B } = \mathrm { B } \cap \mathrm { C } = \mathrm { A } \cap \mathrm { C } = \phi$. The maximum number of such possible partitions of $S$ is equal to:
