An insane function!

Algebra Level 5

Find the number of functions f f from { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 } \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\} to the integers such that f ( 0 ) = 0 f(0) = 0 , f ( 6 ) = 12 f(6) = 12 , and

x y |x - y| \leq f ( x ) f ( y ) |f(x) - f(y)| \leq 3 x y 3|x - y|

for all x x and y y in { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 } \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\} .


The answer is 185.
