Helicopter Cube a 6-member cycle, often referred to as its "orbit". Face center pieces in different orbits cannot be interchanged using only 180° twists. However, jumbling moves are able to permute face center pieces between different orbits, thus leaving the puzzle in a state that cannot be solved by 180° twists alone. Assume that Helicopter Cube is scrambled without jumbling moves (i.e. mixed with only 180 degree twists). Any permutation of the corners is possible, including odd permutations. Seven of the corners can be independently rotated, and the orientation of the eighth depends on the other seven, giving 8!×3 combinations. There are
Unit cube Unit cube A unit cube, more formally a cube of side 1, is a cube whose sides are 1 unit long. The volume of a 3-dimensional unit cube is 1 cubic unit, and its total surface area is 6 square units. The term "unit cube" or unit hypercube is also used for hypercubes, or "cubes" in "n"-dimensional spaces, for values of "n" other than 3 and edge length 1. Sometimes the term "unit cube" refers in specific to the set [0, 1] of all "n"-tuples of numbers in the interval [0, 1]. The length of the longest diagonal of a
