Problem

A $\displaystyle 4\times4\times4$ cube is composed of $\displaystyle 64$ unit cubes. The faces of $\displaystyle 16$ unit cubes are colored red. An arrangement of the cubes is $\mathfrak{Intriguing}$ if there is exactly $\displaystyle 1$ red unit cube in every $\displaystyle 1\times1\times4$ rectangular box composed of $\displaystyle 4$ unit cubes. Determine the number of $\mathfrak{Intriguing}$ colorings.
