  • Answer

Let H\mathcal{H} be the unit hypercube of dimension 4 with a vertex at (x,y,z,w)(x, y, z, w) for each choice of x,y,z,w∈x, y, z, w \in {0,1}\{0,1\}. (Note that H\mathcal{H} has 24=162^{4}=16 vertices.) A bug starts at the vertex (0,0,0,0)(0,0,0,0). In how many ways can the bug move to (1,1,1,1)(1,1,1,1) (the opposite corner of H)\mathcal{H}) by taking exactly 4 steps along the edges of H\mathcal{H} ?
