Conjugacy and the Class Equation · Superchallenge problem

Conjugate matrices always have the same determinant (since det⁡(XMX−1)=det⁡(M)\det(XMX^{-1})=\det(M)), so each of GL(2,3)GL(2,3)'s 88 conjugacy classes lies entirely inside one determinant value. Of these 88 classes, how many consist of matrices with determinant 11 (i.e. lie in SL(2,3)SL(2,3))?
