I just finished tabulating the results with 24-fold symmetry for
the edges of the 3x3x3 cube. I have added them to the table
I posted earlier today which had 1152-fold symmetry.
A couple of reminders. In the case of 1152-fold symmetry, most but not
all of the equivalence classes have exactly 1152 elements. In the case
of 24-fold symmetry, every equivalence class has exactly 24 elements.
Thus, you can almost, but not quite, get from the 1152-fold column
to the 24-fold column by multiplying by 48. Also, my program actually
generated the 1152-fold column. However, it did not generate the
24-fold column. That would have taken far too long. Rather, I generated
the 24-fold column from the 1152-fold column by determining the sizes
of all the equivalence classes. Finally, note that the total figure
for the 24-fold symmetry column can be calculated as
40,874,803,200 = [12!(2^12)/2] / 24, so the total is correct.

If you don't have time to do it right today, what makes you think you are
going to have time to do it over again tomorrow?
