Problem

A $4\times4\times4$ cube is composed of $64$ unit cubes. The faces of $16$ unit cubes are colored red. An arrangement of the cubes is "intriguing" if there is exactly $1$ red unit cube in every $1\times1\times4$ rectangular box composed of $4$ unit cubes. Determine the number of "intriguing" colorings.
