It seems like a lot of fun. |
|
| |
Why was this idea not brought to my attention
sooner? |
|
| |
Would the six faces of the finished puzzle also be
coloured, so you could tell when you had solved
it? |
|
| |
If you scanned the QR codes on each of the six
faces of the cube, a website could then tell you
the precise sequence of moves needed to "solve"
the puzzle. |
|
| |
(Aside. I know there are computer algorithms for
solving the Cube, but is there an algorithm for
finding the _shortest_ solution from any starting
point?) |
|
| |
Because of the requirements of the QR code (alignment blocks, error correction, etc.) I don't think it would be possible to make valid QR codes by mix & match. |
|
| |
However, if just the center face of each side were an electronic display, a small processor could calculate, based on the position and rotation of each cube, the appropriate QR code to display on each side. |
|
| |
There should be some kind of Easter Egg weblink it takes you to for solving it. |
