2008 HMMT November Guts Round Problem 20
You have a die with faces labelled 1 through 6. On each face, you draw an arrow to an adjacent face, such that if you start on a face and follow the arrows, after 6 steps you will have passed through every face once and will be back on your starting face. How many ways are there to draw the arrows so that this is true?
Answers are checked by value, so any equivalent form is accepted: 1/2, \frac{1}{2} and 0.5 all count as the same answer.
