[Help Thread] How to solve the LeFun Sudoku 3x3

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Does anyone know how to solve the LeFun Sudoku 3x3? I found it extremely challenging and I cannot even find a picture of the solved state of the cube.

Never tried before, but at least I can link you to the simulator of this sticker modification: VirtualCube - 3x3x3 Sudoku Magic Squares Cube which should be an equivalent to AnimCubeJS - 3x3x3 Random 9 Colors Arrow Sudoku Cube.

You could also find these interesting: 3x3x3 Random 9 Colors Sudoku Cube, 3x3x3 Random 9 Colors Molecube Cube, or possibly the easiest 2x2x2 Random 4 Colors Sudoku Cube.

I have a solution. Unfortunately the cube contains a mistake. "1" on the one side is rotated in the wrong way. But in the same time all numbers on their right places, no repetitions.

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the Sudoku cube from all sides, the only thing I could now find in the attachment. One side shows that it is solved. If you really need a photo of the solved cube, then it will take time...

Thanks a lot! I somehow managed to solve it with this diagram but I don’t think this’ll be a puzzle that I will solve over and over again. It’s so frustrating and would rather keep it in its solved state.

great! i'm very glad to help you! i also wanted to ask you: is “1” in your cube also incorrectly rotated, or I am just unlucky to buy a cube from a defective batch?
I got the same impression about the puzzle. I spent 4 (!) days on it and now cube just stands on the shelf and reminds me about my "small victory" ( this sudoku cube was my spontaneous purchase. the shop assistant knew how to interest me and said that none of the customers had ever solved this cube. I decided to prove everyone that I would be the first and bought it). I also haven't learned how to solve sudoku directly on a cube, even according to youtube tutorials.

Same, rotated 1 in the 134 corner.

I don't think there are any tutorials for the LeFun Sudoku 3x3 on youtube.

Yes, its true, there is no video exactly about solving lefun cube. On youtube they teach how to solve a sudoku cube when you have a diagram of it. At the beginning of solution you use a diagram to look up the rotation of centers and then you try to solve it without any help. I tried to resolve it, but unsuccesful.
I found out an article which helps to create any diagram for every sudoku cube: https://www.johnperkins.com/Documents/Scube.htm
