Problem Statement

Two vertices of a cube are A,OA,O such that AOAO is the diagonal of one its faces. A nn-run is a sequence of n+1n+1 vertices of the cube such that each 22 consecutive vertices in the sequence are 22 ends of one side of the cube. Is the 13861386-runs from OO to itself less than 13861386-runs from OO to AA or more than it?
