A cube has vertices at the 88 points (±1,±1,±1)(\pm1,\pm1,\pm1). The group of 88 transformations (x,y,z)↦(±x,±y,±z)(x,y,z)\mapsto(\pm x,\pm y,\pm z) (each sign chosen independently) acts on the vertices. Each vertex is painted red or blue. How many colorings are distinct up to this group of sign flips?
