You have to enter it on the command prompt. However, curl might not be installed on your system. You can get it here: http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/?type=bin Hope that helps! Hi Rajdeep!

I recently commented on your Cube36 post. The code I posted had a bug in it. I've fixed the bug so that it would actually find all permutations (it was just getting lucky with the 3x3 test). I've also changed it so that if you feed it the "faked" board, it will find 26 permutations (ignoring the special yellow/orange pieces). Could you edit my post to point to the updated code? http://pastebin.com/TM4efCJ6 Thanks in advance, -- Spec Heya. I recently commented on your Cube36 post. The code I posted had a bug in it.

I encountered this puzzle recently and I, too, wrote a python script to try to solve this....but turns out the puzzle is just a silly trick ;). Here's what I came up with. The simple test works so I assume the code would solve it if it wasn't impossible. <del datetime="2012-01-27T08:07:47+00:00">http://pastebin.com/NwF6nTN6</del> <strong>Edit: The code had a bug, Spec asked me to update the link: http://pastebin.com/TM4efCJ6 Thanks, Spec! - Daniel </strong> Hah.

The pictures and the program output were correct, but my hints were wrong for about two years now, although Chell pointed it out a year ago :( I've updated the post, thanks for letting me know!

"Hint #4 (show): The two special towers are the orange one of heigh 5 and the red one of height 6." The Red-6 and Orange-5 towers are identical their standard counterparts. I found it to be the Orange-6 and Yellow-5 that deviate slightly from the norm. Based upon my inspection there are 4 abnormalities in the board/towers: Base-1.2 is fatter than other same-height bases (compare with 3.4 or 0.5) Base-3.2 is thinner at its bottom than other same-height bases (compare with 1.4 or 2.1) Yellow-5 has an extra thick vertical line along its inside Orange-6 has no/minuscule vertical line along its inside. This allows these two pieces to fit on either of those bases (in addition to the other "correct" height bases).
