The number of combinations using all the letters given = 5!/2! (2! for the repeating I's)

Subtract this from the combinations where I's appear together.

To get this, consider the 2 I's together to be a single letter. That way we have only 4 characters.

These can be arranged in 4! ways. In 4! combinations, the 2 I's appear together.

So, answer = 5!/2! - 4! = 60 - 24 = 36.
