    Rubix Cube Contest

    The concept is simple. Write a program that will solve a rubix cube. You will need to determine the minimum input you will need from the user to solve any given rubix cube (i.e. entering 1, 2, 3 etc. side(s) of the cube) After the user has entered their current cube configuration, you will need to provide a step by step process to solve the cube in the least amount of moves.

    Programs must be written in c++

    Stickers cannot be removed/re-attached

    Programs will be graded on the following criteria:

    • Speed
    • Accuracy
    • Least Amount of code
    • Least amount of moves
    • Least Amount of user prompted input



    Contest Deadline: Have entries submitted to me via board pm/email by New Years Day.. 2005
