I'm hoping any one who knows Rubik's cubes and/or set theory can help me figure something out.
I think I've found a Rubik's cube alogrithm that when repeated will cause the cube to cycle through all 43 quintillion possible states thus theoretically letting anyone solve any cube with just one algorithm.
The algorithm is simply (f r b l) or in English twist the front side clockwise, then the right, then the back, then the left.
I made a c++ program to test it, and it's currently run the algorithm 300 million times, but if I'm right then it will take about a century before it completes the entire cycle, and I can't even be 100% sure it's bug free.
can anyone out there confirm or deny my suspicion?
