A Rubik’s cube





"A Rubik’s cube has
43,252,003,274,489,856,000
possible combinations."

With 6 colored sides, 21 pieces and
... 54 outer surfaces, there’s a
combined total of over 43
quintillion different possible
configurations. To put that into
perspective: if you turned the
Rubik’s cube once every second it
would take you 1400 trillion years
to finish to go through all the
configurations. If you had started
this project during the Big Bang,
you still wouldn’t be done yet.
