Conjugacy and the Class Equation · Superchallenge problem

A nonabelian group GG has order 1616. Using the pp-group theorem, ∣Z(G)∣|Z(G)| must be a multiple of 22, so it could in principle be 22, 44, or 88 (it can't be 1616, or GG would be abelian). Which of these three candidate values is actually IMPOSSIBLE?
