Problem Statement

A regular 20182018-gon is inscribed in a circle. The numbers 1,2,...,20181, 2, ..., 2018 are arranged on the vertices of the 20182018-gon, with each vertex having one number on it, such that the sum of any 22 neighboring numbers (22 numbers are neighboring if the vertices they are on lie on a side of the polygon) equals the sum of the 22 numbers that are on the antipodes of those 22 vertices (with respect to the given circle). Determine the number of different arrangements of the numbers. (Two arrangements are identical if you can get from one of them to the other by rotating around the center of the circle).
