    p(cars are adjacent) = # of ways they can be adjacent / # of ways they can park = 8/(5P2) = 8/(5!/(5 - 2)!) = 8/20 = 2/5

    zero...the answer is zero because pyschologically speaking people will always park at least one space away from another car...and i dont care if this is math class you give your teacher this answer!
