Understand the scale
Scale 0.5: Easiest math competition problems, often solvable even for early middle school students without experience. 1: Problems strictly for beginners, often at a moderate middle school level. 1.5: Problems for stronger beginner students, on the level of the middling problems in most middle school contests. 2: For motivated beginners, harder questions from the previous categories. 2.5: More advanced beginner problems, hardest questions from previous categories. 3: Early intermediate problems that require more creative thinking. 3.5: Tougher early intermediate problems that consistently stretch into higher-level creative thinking or conceptual knowledge. 4: Intermediate-level problems. 4.5: Upper intermediate problems approaching the upper bound for non-invitational sprint math competitions. 5: More difficult AIME problems or simple proof-based Olympiad-style problems. 6: High-level AIME-styled questions or introductory Olympiad-level questions. 7: Tougher Olympiad-level questions, may require more technical knowledge. 8: High-level Olympiad-level questions. 9: Expert Olympiad-level questions. 9.5: The hardest problems appearing on Olympiads which the strongest students could reasonably solve. 10: Historically notorious problems, generally unsuitable for even very hard competitions because they are exceedingly tedious, long, and difficult.

Problem

Problem: Let SS be the set {1,2,…,2012}\{1,2, \ldots, 2012\}. A perfectutation is a bijective function hh from SS to itself such that there exists an a∈Sa \in S such that h(a)≠ah(a) \neq a, and that for any pair of integers a∈Sa \in S and b∈Sb \in S such that h(a)≠a,h(b)≠bh(a) \neq a, h(b) \neq b, there exists a positive integer kk such that hk(a)=bh^{k}(a)=b. Let nn be the number of ordered pairs of perfectutations (f,g)(f, g) such that f(g(i))=g(f(i))f(g(i))=g(f(i)) for all i∈Si \in S, but f≠gf \neq g. Find the remainder when nn is divided by 2011.
