Nico wants to write the $100$ integers from $1$ to $100$ around a circle in some order and without repetition, such that they have the following property: when moving around the circle clockwise, the sum of the $100$ distances between each number and its next number is equal to $198$. Determine in how many ways the $100$ numbers can be ordered so that Nico achieves his goal. Note: The distance between two numbers $a$ and $b$ is equal to the absolute value of their difference: $|a - b|$.
