Understanding the Rubik's Cube and Why it Has Over 43 Quintillion Perm

Introduction The Rubik’s Cube is a relatively simple-looking puzzle from the outside and, sure enough, it is not that hard to actually solve one. This square tri-layered contraption, though innocent at first sight, actually possesses a deeper mathematical secret beneath the surface. While we won’t dive too deep into group theory, a rather complicated branch of mathematics, let’s really try to understand this puzzle to its roots! Construction of the Cube Now, the Rubik’s Cube is composed of 6 centerpieces, 8 corner pieces, and 12 edge pieces, arranged in the form of a cube that is 3 pieces across any side. Each centerpiece has 1 face and is fixed into position, making it such that the face of the cube with a particular centerpiece is determined by the colour of the face of that centerpiece. Similarly, edge pieces have 2 faces
