COMMENTS

Here inequivalent means under the action of the rotation group of the cube, of order 24, which in its action on the edges has cycle index (x1^12 + 3*x2^6 + 6*x4^3 + 6*x1^2*x2^5 + 8*x3^4)/24.

Also, number of inequivalent colorings of the edges of a regular octahedron using at most n colors. - José H. Nieto S., Jan 19 2012
