Let us count the good paths. The bug starts at an arbitrary?vertex, moves to a neighboring vertex (3 ways), and then to a new neighbor (2 more ways). So,?without loss of generality, let the?cube?have vertices?
?such that?
?and?
?are two opposite?faces?with?
above?
?and?
?above?
. The bug starts at?
?and moves first to?
, then to?
.
From this point, there are two?cases.
Case 1: the bug moves to?
. From?
, there is only one good move available, to?
. From?
, there are two ways to finish the trip, either by going?
?or?
. So there are 2 good paths in this case.
Case 2: the bug moves to?
. Case 2a: the bug moves?
. In this case, there are 0 good paths because it will not be possible to visit both?
?and?
?without double-visiting some vertex. Case 2b: the bug moves?
. There is a unique good path in this case,?
.
Thus, all told we have 3 good paths after the first two mo, for a total of?
?good paths. There were?
?possible paths the bug could have taken, so the?probability?a random path is good is the?ratio?of good paths to total paths,?
.
As?in Solution 1, the bug can move from its arbitrary starting vertex to a neighboring vertex in 3 ways. After this, the bug can move to a new neighbor in 2 ways (it cannot return to the first vertex). The total number of paths (as?stated above) is?
?or?
. Therefore, the probability of the bug following a good path is equal to?
?for some positive integer?
. The only answer choice which can be expressed in this form is?

Call the center?
.By the?Multinomial Theorem, the summands can be written?as

and

respectively. Since the coefficients of like terms are the same in each expression, each like term either cancel one another out or the coefficient doubles. In each expansion there are:
![[{2006+2choose 2} = 2015028]](https://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/d/3/8d3ff6f9a5045933c1619fcab5e8bd4a48ee0457.png)
terms without cancellation. For any term in the second expansion to be negative, the parity of the exponents of?
?and?
?must be opposite. Now we find a pattern:
if the exponent of?
?is 1, the exponent of?
?can be all even integers up to 2004, so there are 1003 terms.
if the exponent of?
?is 3, the exponent of?
?can go up to 2002, so there are 1002 terms.
![]()
if the exponent of?
?is 2005, then?
?can only be 0, so there is 1 term.
If we add them up, we get?
?terms. However, we can switch the exponents of?
?and?
?and these terms will still have a negative sign. So there are a total of?
?negative terms.
By subtracting this number from 2015028, we obtain?
?or?
?as?our answer.
Alternatively, we can use a?generating function?to solve this problem. The goal is to find the generating function for the number of unique terms in the simplified expression (in terms of?
). In other words, we want to find?
?where the coefficient of?
?equals the number of unique terms in?
.
First, we note that all unique terms in the expression have the form,?
, where?
?and?
?is some constant. Therefore, the generating function for the MAXIMUM number of unique terms possible in the simplified expression of?
?is![]()
Secondly, we note that a certain number of terms of the form,?
, do not appear in the simplified version of our expression because those terms cancel. Specifically, we observe that terms cancel when?
?because every unique term is of the form:
for all possible?
.
Since the generating function for the maximum number of unique terms is already known, it is logical that we want to find the generating function for the number of terms that cancel, also in terms of?
. With some thought, we see that this desired generating function is the following:![]()
Now, we want to subtract the latter from the former in order to get the generating function for the number of unique terms in?
, our initial goal:
which equals![]()
The coefficient of?
?of the above expression equals![[sum_{a=0}^{2006}binom{2+a}{2}binom{1+2006-a}{1}(-1)^a + sum_{a=0}^{2004}binom{2+a}{2}binom{1+2004-a}{1}(-1)^a]](https://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/5/6/656d32098986fa900dc1f04828eb37888180a9bc.png)
Evaluating the expression, we get?
,?as?expected.
Define?
?such that?
. Then the expression in the problem becomes:?
.
Expanding this using binomial theorem gives?
, where?
?(we may omit the coefficients,?as?we are seeking for the number of terms, not the terms themselves).
Simplifying gives:?
. Note that two terms that come out of different powers of?
?cannot combine and simplify,?as?their exponent of?
?will differ. Therefore, we simply add the number of terms produced from each addend. By the Binomial Theorem,?
?will have?
?terms, so the answer is?
.
Using stars and bars we know that?
?has?
?or?
?different terms. Now we need to find out how many of these terms are canceled out by?
. We know that for any term(let's say?
) where?
?of the expansion of
?is only going to cancel out with the corresponding term?
?if only?
?is odd and?
?is even or?
?is even and?
?is odd. Now let's do some casework to see how many terms fit this criteria:
Case 1:?
?is even
Now we know that?
?is even and?
. Thus?
?is also even or both?
?and?
?are odd or both?
?and?
?are even. This case clearly fails the above criteria and there are 0 possible solutions.
Case 2:?
?is odd
Now we know that?
?is odd and?
. Thus?
?is odd and?
?is odd and?
?is even or?
?is even and?
?is odd. All terms that have?
being odd work.
We now need to figure out how many of the terms have?
?as?a odd number. We know that?
?can be equal to any number between 0 and 2006. There are 1003 odd numbers between this range and 2007 total numbers. Thus?
?of the?
?terms will cancel out and?
?of the terms will work. Thus there are?
?terms. This number comes out to be?

This question can be solved fairly directly by casework and pattern-finding. We give a somewhat more general attack, based on the solution to the following problem:
How many ways are there to choose?
?elements from an ordered?
?element?set?without choosing two consecutive members?
You want to choose?
?numbers out of?
?with no consecutive numbers. For each configuration, we can subtract?
?from the?
-th element in your subset. This converts your configuration into a configuration with?
?elements where the largest possible element is?
, with no restriction on consecutive numbers. Since this process is easily reversible, we have a?bijection. Without consideration of the second condition, we have:?
Now we examine the second condition. It simply states that no element in our original configuration (and hence also the modified configuration, since we don't move the smallest element) can be less than?
, which translates to subtracting?
?from the "top" of each?binomial coefficient. Now we have, after we cancel all the terms?
?where?
,
Another way of visualizing the solution above would be to use?
's and?
's. Denote?
?as?the numbers we have chosen and?
?as?other numbers. Taking an example, assuming we are picking two numbers, we imagine the shape?
. This notation forces a number between the two chosen numbers, which blocks the two numbers we picked from being consecutive. Now we consider the orientations with this shape. We have?
?remaining numbers.
We need to find the number of ways to place the remaining?
's. We can find this by utilizing stars and bars, with the following marker being placed to represent groups: *| - *|*. Now, we have to place?
?numbers within?
?groups, which is?
. The same concept can be used for the remaining numbers. The rest of the solution continues?as?above.
Solution by: Everyoneintexas
We have the same setup?as?in the previous solution.
Note that if?
, the answer will be 0. Otherwise, the?
?elements we choose define?
?boxes (which divide the nonconsecutive numbers) into which we can drop the?
?remaining elements, with the caveat that each of the middle?
?boxes must have at least one element (since the numbers are nonconsecutive). This is equivalent to dropping?
?elements into?
?boxes, where each box is allowed to be empty. And this is equivalent to arranging?
?objects,?
?of which are dividers, which we can do in?
?ways.
Now, looking at our original question, we see that the thing we want to calculate is just?
