Feb 1, 2016 at 15:29 comment added Anthon Why wouldn't there be more than 9 positions? You already have read,write and execute for user, group and other, giving nine bits, and then there are things like the SUID, GUID and sticky bits

Feb 1, 2016 at 15:26 comment added garethTheRed You've a typo in your example. You have 11 possible positions, whereas in reality there should be 10 possible positions. That's still one more than the 9 you suggested. The additional left had position can be a d to signify a directory. Therefore you have drwxrwxrwx. man chmod explains the codes. info ls has even more information.
