    Okay so I have this sudoku cube. It's a Rubik's cube, but instead of having colours on each face, it has numbers from 1 - 9. Each 3x3 face of the cube must contain the numbers 1 - 9 when solved. I've had it for some time now and couldn't solve it, so I've decided I would like to share this puzzle with you guys! I am able to do all the orientation and permutations myself, the problem is I just need to know what orientation the pieces need to be in! :P The cube has: 6 Face Pieces: 1, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7. 12 Edge Pieces: 1-2, 3-6, 6-8, 4-5, 2-2, 3-4, 2-9, 8-9, 3-7, 3-9, 7-8, 5-8. 8 Corner Pieces†: 4-8-5, 3-4-6, 7-5-9, 5-6-8, 1-4-2, 1-9-3, 2-1-7, 6-7-9. † Read clockwise. Examples of 4-8-5 can be seen here[^]. The layout of the faces of the cube can be seen here[^]. Feel free to modify this image with your solutions. I would advise printing it out and doing it in pencil first. Good luck guys! :]

    I bought a book recently called the 'Heavy metal book of fun' or something. It had black metal word searches, you could connect the moles on Lemmys face to spell a word, etc. It had a heavy metal sudoku puzzle. All the numbers were 6.

      But what if you messed up and had 6s and 9s?

                          Well, I can solve a rubix cube, so perhaps.. hmm.. that's a really hard cube, where'd you buy it? I'd love to get one of those. Well, perhaps solve one face with the edges correctly (so that when you solve one face, the other faces have three pieces with no repeated numbers, and the middle piece being a different number aswell) Then play with the second layer so that all side middle pieces are correct.. this is all assuming you know the algorithms to a rubix cube..

                              Dunno where It came from. Parents gave it to me for my birthday. And yeah, I know the algorithms for the cube. That's exactly the way I've been trying to solve it. Then I got sick of trial and error + actually having to manipulate the pieces of the cube and so I pulled it apart and tried to solve it that way. I got pretty far but theres only 3 pieces holding me back >:[ I shouldn't have pulled it apart :P

                                The answer to your sudoku is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (* not neccisarily in that particular order)
