[ QUOTE ] there's probably more than one congifuration that is solved. [/ QUOTE ] If anyone could confirm this, I would appreciate it. But how many possible "solved" configurations can there be out of 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 total possible configurations? [/ QUOTE ] If that is the number, I would say that it is extremely likely you subconsciously did this. Regardless, either scenario is amazing.

Re: The most improbable thing you\'ve ever seen?
OK, for the hockey players. I go outdoor skating with some friends often. We have a game where we have to hit the crossbar with a slapshot to win the game.
1st we did it from center ice, 1st person to hit the crossbar (not easy to do!) wins the money but the other guy gets 1 shot to also hit it to force a tie. My buddy hits it, I hit it in the next shot to tie. Then I go to the OPPOSITE blueline and say "watch this". I take 1 shot and ding, right off the crossbar. Everyone was speechless.

Where did you get your 43.... number from? Are you taking into account things like the 5s will never move, possibly other situations that I'm not going to think out?

[/ QUOTE ] The vast majority of rotations were made without ever looking at the cube. I have no idea how to even begin to go about solving it even if I was trying. I haven't solved a regular Rubik's cube in close to 20 years.

[/ QUOTE ] It's the same thing as a Rubik's cube, and I pulled that number off the wiki Rubik's Cube page for the number of reachable configurations of a 3x3x3 cube.
