7.2.4
Summary:
Clicking inner pieces(A,B and C) rotatea 4 pieces by 90°.
Clicking outer pieces(D,E and F) rotatea 3 pieces by 120°.
Solved states:
This puzzle has 6 solved states.
Mathematical facts:
· The permutation group of pieces is S6.
· Any piece can be at any of 6 places, and can
be twisted by n×30°.
· The sum of twists is always (n×360°)
=0°.
So the total number of possible scrambles is:
(6!)×(12^5) = 179,159,040.
