6-colours, Simple challenge

[mrCage]

Hi

On a 3x3x3 cube what is the shortest sequence to achieve 6 colours on each of the faces of the cube?

Variation: repeat this challenge for 4x4x4, 5x5x5, 6x6x6 etc.
Which is the size with shortest solution??

Per

PS! I do NOT know the solutions - but i know that 8 turns will suffice on a 6x6x6

I got 5 turns on the 6x6x6

Please post sequence(s) when you have a contribution. Link to java applet would be perfect:rolleyes:

Wher's red and orange on U and D? -.-

R' 2r' 3r' U D only makes F, and incidentally B.

I'd try this, but it's late and I have other things to do.

For 3^3 (and also bigger cubes of course): L R U2 F B L R' works.

That alg is win

This one's result is nicer: L R2 B2 F2 D' U' L'
