+ | |||
+ | ==Solution 2== | ||
+ | Since we want the sum of the edges of each face to be <math>2</math>, we need there to be two <math>1</math>s and two <math>0</math>s on each face. Through experimentation, we find that either <math>2, 4,</math> or all of them have <math>1</math>s adjacent to <math>1</math>s and <math>0</math>s adjacent to <math>0</math> on each face. WLOG, let the first face (counterclockwise) be <math>0,0,1,1</math>. In this case we are trying to have all of them be adjacent to each other. First face: <math>0,0,1,1</math>. Second face: <math>2</math> choices: <math>1,0,0,1</math> or <math>0,0,1,1</math>. After that, it is basically forced and everything will fall in to place. Since we assumed WLOG, we need to multiply <math>2</math> by <math>4</math> to get a total of <math>8</math> different arrangements. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Secondly, <math>4</math> of the faces have all of them adjacent and <math>2</math> of the faces do not: WLOG counting counterclockwise, we have <math>0,0,1,1</math>. Then, we choose the other face next to it. There are two cases, which are <math>0,1,0,1</math> and <math>1,0,1,0</math>. Therefore, this subcase has <math>4</math> different arrangements. Then, we can choose the face at front to be <math>1,0,1,0</math>. This has <math>4</math> cases. The sides can either be <math>0,1,1,0</math> or <math>1,1,0,0</math>. Therefore, we have another <math>8</math> cases. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Summing these up, we have <math>8+4+8 = 20</math>. Therefore, our answer is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(E) } 20}</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <u><b>Remark</b></u> | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is very easy to get disorganized when counting, resulting in incorrect calculations, so when doing this problem, make sure to draw a diagram of the cube. Labeling is a bit harder, since we often confuse one side with another. Try doing the problem by labeling sides on the lines (literally letting the lines pass through your <math>0</math>s and <math>1</math>s.) I found that to be very helpful when solving this problem. | ||

Problem
Each of the edges of a cube is labeled
or
. Two labelings are considered different even if one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of one or more rotations and/or reflections. For how many such labelings is the sum of the labels on the edges of each of the
faces of the cube equal to
?
Solution 1
For simplicity, we will name this cube by vertices, as shown below.
Note that for each face of this cube, two edges are labeled
and two edges are labeled
For all twelve edges of this cube, we conclude that six edges are labeled
and six edges are labeled
We apply casework to face Recall that there are
ways to label its edges:
- Opposite edges have the same label.
- Opposite edges have different labels.
There are ways to label the edges of
We will consider one of the ways, then multiply the count by
Without loss of generality, we assume that
are labeled
respectively:
We apply casework to the label of as shown below.
We have
such labelings for this case.

We will consider one of the ways, then multiply the count by
Without loss of generality, we assume that
are labeled
respectively:
We apply casework to the labels of and
as shown below.
We have
such labelings for this case.
Therefore, we have such labelings in total.
~MRENTHUSIASM
Solution 2
Since we want the sum of the edges of each face to be , we need there to be two
s and two
s on each face. Through experimentation, we find that either
or all of them have
s adjacent to
s and
s adjacent to
on each face. WLOG, let the first face (counterclockwise) be
. In this case we are trying to have all of them be adjacent to each other. First face:
. Second face:
choices:
or
. After that, it is basically forced and everything will fall in to place. Since we assumed WLOG, we need to multiply
by
to get a total of
different arrangements.
Secondly, of the faces have all of them adjacent and
of the faces do not: WLOG counting counterclockwise, we have
. Then, we choose the other face next to it. There are two cases, which are
and
. Therefore, this subcase has
different arrangements. Then, we can choose the face at front to be
. This has
cases. The sides can either be
or
. Therefore, we have another
cases.
Summing these up, we have . Therefore, our answer is
.
Remark
It is very easy to get disorganized when counting, resulting in incorrect calculations, so when doing this problem, make sure to draw a diagram of the cube. Labeling is a bit harder, since we often confuse one side with another. Try doing the problem by labeling sides on the lines (literally letting the lines pass through your s and
s.) I found that to be very helpful when solving this problem.
~Arcticturn
Solution 3
We see that each face has to have 2 1's and 2 0's. We can start with edges connecting to A.
Case 1
This goes to:
We can see that we choose diametrically opposite vertices to put
's on the connecting edges. As a result, this case has
orientations.
Case 2
Filling out a bit more, we have:
Let's try filling out and
first.
Case 2.1
This goes to:
We can see that it consists of chains of three 's, with the middle of each chain being opposite edges. As a result, this case has
orientations.
Case 2.2
Oh no... We have different ways of filling out and
. More casework!
Case 2.2.1
This goes to:
We can see that this is the inverse of case 1 (Define inverse to mean swapping 's for
's and
's for
's). Therefore, this should also have
orientations.
Case 2.2.2
This goes to:
This is the inverse of case 2.1, so this will also have orientations.
Putting Them All Together
We see that if the edges connecting to
has two
's, and one
, it would have the same solutions as if it had two
's, and one
. The solutions would just be inverted. As case 2.1 and case 2.2.2 are inverses, and case 2.2.1 has case 1 as an inverse, there would not be any additional solutions.
Similarly, if the edges connecting to
has three
's, it would be the same as the inverse of case 1, or case 2.2.1, resulting in no new solutions.
Putting all the cases together, we have solutions.

Solution 4
The problem states the sum of the labels on the edges of each of the faces of the cube equal to
. That is, the sum of the labels on the
edges of a face is equal to
. The labels can only be
or
, meaning
edges are labeled
, the other
are labeled
.
This problem can be approached by Graph Coloring of Graph Theory. Note that each face of the cube connects to other faces, each with a shared edge. We use the following graph to represent the problem. Each vertex represents a face, each edge represent the cube's edge. Each vertex has
edges connecting to
other vertices. The edges can be colored red or blue, with red as label
, and blue as label
. Each vertex must have
red edges and
blue edges.
:
adjacent red edges from vertex A. There are
ways to choose
red edges adjacent to each other and connect to
vertices with an edge between them as shown below.
:
adjacent red edges from vertex
form a closed loop with a third red edge. There is only
case as shown below.
:
adjacent red edges from vertex
does not form a closed loop with a third red edge. There are
cases as shown below.
In case , there are total
ways.
:
red edges from vertex
with
blue edge in between. There are
ways to choose
red edges with
blue edge in between.
There are only cases as shown below.
In case , there are total
ways.
From both case and case
, there are
ways in total.
