HAL’S Rubik's Cube Feat By: -C- & PatchiooX Overview A standard Rubik's Cube boasts six faces, each adorned with a distinct colour: white, yellow, red, blue, green, and orange, to name a few. While the Rubik's cube represents 43 quintillion variations. More or less what Hal does is visualising the most efficient solution set for any pattern on the cube and pragmatically solving even several of them mentally. By using his spatial intelligence and cognition, he can conjure up and compute all the required permutation and combination of the cubes and solve them simultaneously. Mathematical Proof A 3x3x3 Rubik's cube has 6 differently colored sides, each way separated by 9 tiles. A closer look at (how externally) these are assembled rather than stickers would reveal that there are six centrepieces; eight corner pieces; and twelve edge pieces. Having defined the centres which must be fixed, we have thus eliminated them from the computations. This equals: Which is roughly 43 Quintillion permutations. Keep in mind there is only one unique solution set for one 3 by 3 cube. The Feat What's with Hal being required to proceed through every single one of those 43-Q possibilities? Hal, however, must explore all the possibilities because he deals with abstract representations of two 3 by 3 cubes that he visualises and builds in his mind. He doesn't try every single permutation or brute force solve the cubes, he goes through all the possibilities to find the most efficient solution …
