assuming that the problem does not care about consecutive oder - i.e. a correct arrangement does not have to be consecutive integers and can contain gaps, think its like this

start with 10 cards
remove 2 (doesn't matter which, the actual numbers are irrelevant here). we now have 8 total cards.

a student is a choosing 4 cards out of a population of 8 cards.
n!/k!(n-k)! = 8!/(4!*4!) = 70
