AMC 12 2013b Problem 12

  • Paper

Cities AA, BB, CC, DD, and EE are connected by roads AB~\widetilde{AB}, AD~\widetilde{AD}, AE~\widetilde{AE}, BC~\widetilde{BC}, BD~\widetilde{BD}, CD~\widetilde{CD}, and DE~\widetilde{DE}. How many different routes are there from AA to BB that use each road exactly once? (Such a route will necessarily visit some cities more than once.)
