Problem:
Consider the following configuration of 64 triangles:
We wish to colour the interior of each triangle with one of three colours: red, green or blue, so that no two neighbouring triangles have the same colour. Such a colouring shall be called valid. Here, two triangles are said to be neighbouring if they share an edge.
Note: if they only share a vertex, then they are not neighbours.
For example, here is a valid colouring of the above grid:
A colouring C' which is obtained from a colouring C by rotation or reflection is considered distinct from C unless the two are identical.
How many distinct valid colourings are there for the above configuration?

Solution:
840
Code:
The solution may include methods that will be found here: Library.java .
public interface EulerSolution{
public String run();
}
We don't have code for that problem yet! If you solved that out using Java, feel free to contribute it to our website, using our "Upload" form.
