N-dimensional Sequential Move Puzzle

N-dimensional Sequential Move Puzzle

The Rubik's Cube is the original and best known of the three-dimensional sequential move puzzles. There have been many virtual implementations of this puzzle in software. It is a natural extension to create sequential move puzzles in more than three dimensions. Although no such puzzle could ever be physically constructed, the rules of how they operate are quite rigorously defined mathematically and are analogous to the rules found in three-dimensional geometry. Hence, they can be simulated by software. As with the mechanical sequential move puzzles, there are records for solvers, although not yet the same degree of competitive organisation.

Famous quotes containing the words move and/or puzzle:

    Comes over one an absolute necessity to move. And what is more, to move in some particular direction. A double necessity then: to get on the move, and to know whither.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    —My good friend, quoth I—as sure as I am I—and you are you
    —And who are you? said he.—Don’t puzzle me; said I.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
