In \ref{manyballs}, $n = 5$ and $(k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4) = (8, 3, 6, 4)$. \\ In \ref{manyballs}, $n = 21$ and $(k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4) = (8, 3, 6, 4)$. \\
So, the solution to \ref{manyballs} should be given by the multinomial coefficient $\binom{5}{8,3,6,4}$. So, the solution to \ref{manyballs} should be given by the multinomial coefficient $\binom{21}{8,3,6,4}$.
