First digits 3,5  =2        Last digit (2,4,6,8)=4        Middle two digits^4 P_2 =((4!)/(2!))=12         Total with first digits 3,5=2×4×12=96  First digit 4,6=2        Last digits (2,6,8) or (4,6,8)=3        Middle two digits^4 P_2 =((4!)/(2!))=12         Total with first digits 4,6=2×3×12=72  Total =72+96=168
