Episode XX+5
The Imperial Army
was building a second
Death Star above the moon Endor.
Princess Leia and R2D2 successfully
completed their mission to destroy the shielding
radio wave generator protecting the Death Star…
After the mission, Princess Leia and R2D2 were walking through the forest to return to their spaceship when suddenly, several small native tribesmen emerged from the bushes, pointing their long spears at them. Princess Leia gave up resistance and was taken to their tribe.
When they arrived, the chief appeared and said, "You, the woman, will spend the rest of your life here weeding. You, the machine, will be bought by the junkyard that comes by periodically." He continued, "However, I will give you a chance to avoid this. Rubik's Cube solving is currently popular on this planet, and the competition for the championship is fierce. If you can beat the current champion candidate, I will let you go."
Then, a small but unusually large-faced man emerged from a tent. His eyes were about 20 cm apart. The chief introduced him, "This man named Head is currently ranked second in the tribe, and is a master of Look-ahead."
"Let's get started. First, Head," said the chief, handing him the scrambled cube. It was a small cube, 5cm wide, just large enough to fit his small hand. He picked up the cube, positioned his head about 10cm above it, and held it at an angle. Princess Leia wondered if he was nearsighted, but upon closer observation, she noticed that both of his eyes were moving independently, like a chameleon.
"I see, he's holding his head directly above the cube, looking at the F and R faces with his right eye and the L and B faces with his left eye! His eyes are far apart, and the cube is small, so from that angle, he should be able to easily see all five faces except the bottom D face. That is the reason why he's good at looking ahead! He must have trained hard to prevent the information coming in from one eye from interfering with the information coming in from the other," she muttered to herself, impressed in a way.
He solved the cube in 15 seconds.
The chief said, "Now it's your turn," and handed her a cube that had been scrambled according to the simulation below.
(Scramble: L' F2 R2 U2 F2 R' U2 R' D2 U2 F2 U B F' D' B2 U' F2 L)
Princess Leia's abilities are at the Sub-17 level, so it seems unlikely that she will be able to win. Will Princess Leia be able to overcome this difficult situation?
Readers, please think about what measures Princess Leia might take.
