Another question.
How many ways can 5 edges, The 4 on the U face and DF, be permuted and oriented?
For permutations, there are 5! = 120
Orientation, 9, so total 120 x 9 = 1080 cases.
Permutation, I agree at 5! = 120
But for orientation, 9?
Maybe I'm missing something, but if every edge has 2 orientations, then that would be
2^5
If the rest of the cube is solved, then we have to put a restriction into place, so that would be (2^5)/2, which would be 16.
But if we assume that the rest of the cube is unsolved, and therefore parity is not an issue, we have 32.
So, if the rest of the cube is solved, or more like the rest of the corners are oriented, then we have 120*16=1920 cases. But if they are not necessarily all oriented correctly, we have 120*32=3840 cases.
Am I missing something?
Eh, minor bump
I have a Sony Cybershot DSC P73 with a 256 MB memory stick. For videos, it can only record 5:47 which is a pain since i cant do longer videos. I want to know if there is a way to hook it up to the computer and record from the computer. Like some people with webcams can see themselves on the moniter while they record. Is it possible for this type of camera?
Depends on the computer.
If you've got a Mac, then you can just use the free Photo Booth application that comes with every mac.
With a Windows-running computer, I'm not sure, but I think
Camtasia Studio can do it ($299, but there's a free version).
