I presume the solution will involve factorials, and it's been a long time since I did those. Or it's a dirty trick and the plane us upside down with no seats and full of tigers.
Well it doesn't matter if some passengers end up in the correct seat, it only matter that once the dummy gets into a wrong seat you CAN NOT end up in correct seat going last. So the premise stands
