problem

A 5-dimensional ant starts at one vertex of a 5-dimensional hypercube of side length 1. A move is when the ant travels from one vertex to another vertex at a distance of 2\sqrt{2} away. How many ways can the ant make 5 moves and end up on the same vertex it started at?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
A 5-dimensional ant starts at one vertex of a 5-dimensional hypercube of side length 1. A move is when the ant travels from one vertex to another vertex at a distance of √(2) away. How many ways can the ant make 5 moves and end up on the same vertex it started at?
Original LaTeX notation
A 5-dimensional ant starts at one vertex of a 5-dimensional hypercube of side length 1. A move is when the ant travels from one vertex to another vertex at a distance of $\sqrt{2}$ away. How many ways can the ant make 5 moves and end up on the same vertex it started at?
