Abstract

When you roll a die, what is the probability that every face has been moved to another location? Starting from this simple problem, we look at integer sequences associated with the number of facet derangements of an n-dimensional hypercube. We briefly survey some previous work, discuss a reformulation of the problem, and give recursive and non-recursive formulas for the sequences. This is joint work with Liz McMahon.
