2815 Soma 2815 Soma 2815 Soma, provisional designation , is a binary Florian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 7 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 15 September 1982, by American astronomer Edward Bowell at Lowell's Anderson Mesa Station in Flagstaff, Arizona, in the United States . It is named for the mechanical puzzle Soma cube. "Soma" is a member of the Flora family, a large family of stony asteroids. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,219 days). Its orbit has an
Dino Cube the limit by 2. The edge pieces cannot be flipped or misorientated (See "Solving"), therefore this is also not taken into account. The total number of possible combinations on the six-colour Dino Cube is therefore equal to: This number is low compared to the number of combinations of the Rubik's Cube (which has over 4.3×10 combinations) but still larger than many other puzzles in the Rubik's Cube family, notably the Pocket Cube (over 3.6 million combinations) and the Pyraminx (just over 930 thousand combinations, excluding rotations of the trivial tips). The number of possible of configurations, 19 958 400, is
