the ways to reach 1,1 from 0,0 is three
so, we can,
go 3 up, 2 down and then one right which have 6!/(3!2!) moves.
and, 2 up, 1 down, 2 forward and 1 backward which have 6!/(3!3!) moves.
lastly, 1 up, 3 forward and one backward which have 6!/(3!2!) moves.
if we add the three possibilities, we get 140.
thus, total number of ways is 140*3 = 420.
