The puzzle consists of four cubes with faces of 1,2, 3 or 4. The objective of the puzzle is to stack these cubes in a column so that each side of the stack (front, back, left, and right) shows each of the numbers, does not need to be in numerical order.
The cubes can be stacked in any order, each cube has 24 orientations, giving a maximum of 4!·244 positions. This limit is not reached because:
- The solved puzzle as a whole has 8 orientations (8)
- The order of the cubes does not really matter to the solution (4!)
This leaves only 244/8 = 41,472 distinct positions!
There are 5 files, one for each cube if you want to print each in a different color or one file with all 4 cubes. They take about 4 hours to print all 4.
