Rubik's Cube group by rotations of the centre pieces, the second solely by symmetries of the corners, and the third solely by symmetries of the edges. The latter two factors are examples of wreath products. The simple groups that occur as quotients in the composition series of the standard cube group (i.e. ignoring centre piece rotations) are formula_37, formula_38, formula_30 (7 times), and formula_31 (12 times). Rubik's Cube group The Rubik’s Cube group is a group formula_1 that represents the structure of the Rubik's Cube mechanical puzzle. Each element of the set formula_2 corresponds to a cube move, which is the effect of
Snub cube plus signs, where "t" ≈ 1.83929 is the tribonacci constant. Taking the even permutations with an odd number of plus signs, and the odd permutations with an even number of plus signs, gives a different snub cube, the mirror image. Taking all of them together yields the compound of two snub cubes. This snub cube has edges of length "α", a number which satisfies the equation and can be written as To get a snub cube with unit edge length, divide all the coordinates above by the value "α" given above. The "snub cube" has two special orthogonal projections, centered,
