N-dimensional sequential move puzzle have succeeded in finding them on all similar puzzles that have so far been solved. A 2-D Rubik type puzzle can no more be physically constructed than a 4-D one can. A 3-D puzzle could be constructed with no stickers on the third dimension which would then behave as a 2-D puzzle but the true implementation of the puzzle remains in the virtual world. The implementation shown here is from Superliminal who call it the 2D Magic Cube. The puzzle is not of any great interest to solvers as its solution is quite trivial. In large part this is because
Missing Link (puzzle) one row to another, up and down. There are 15 tiles and a gap, giving a maximum of 16! arrangements. However, the middle tiles of each four-tile chain are identical, and each position is equivalent to seven other positions obtained by rotating the entire puzzle (about its axis or upside-down), reducing the number of arrangements to 16! / 8 / 8 = 326,918,592,000. If the three long chains are also considered interchangeable, then the number of arrangements is further reduced to 16! / 8 / 8 / 6 = 54,486,432,000.
