anybody know how to calculate the number of permutations on an nXnXn 6-coloured rubik's cube?
(sort like this:
odd:
even: )

He's looking for permutations, though. That formula factors in orientation.
is there a differnence betweeen permutations, orientations and combinations :confused:
epic formula but what does modulo mean? (I really have to learn more)

Permutations concerns where pieces are supposed to be, orientations which way they should be facing and combinations both.
You can type Chris' formula into wolframalpha
Yeah, you've got to know the syntax.You can type Chris' formula into wolframalpha
With great difficulty
I don't really get most of this stuff..
I can understand the math of calculating combinations and restrictions of corners and edges moving in pairs. But wich part of the formula restrict x y z (orientation of the cube)?? Thanks
