to select 7 people such that none is consecutive would be

First person can occupy any of the 16 chairs
Second person can sit in rest of the 13 chairs
Third in 11, Fourth in 9,Fifth in 7, Sixth in 5 ,proceeding in this way
Therefore total number of ways to sit= 16*13*11*9*7*5*3=2162160

The yardstick of human intelligence is the ability to overcome the last fallacy
