A small relation expanding like the shade
of a cloud on the sand,a shape on side of the hill"

Colouring Problem
Problem : Six sides of a die are painted with six different colours.In how many ways can this be done ? See comment for clue
the coluring is said to be different if relative arrangement of the colouring differs.For example, there are three sets of parallel planes in a die.If you exchange the colours of within the pairs leving the other pair intact, the new coluring is same as the old one.
