    - The Mathematics behind the Picture Puzzle.

• Each Cube has 6 sides.
   
• Each Set has 20 Cubes.
   
• All cubes line up with each other but must be kept in the correct location and the correct way up.

One cube: 6 sides = six combinations.

Two cubes: 6 sides x 6 sides = Thirty six combinations.

So the total number of combinations of different aligned pictures that can be made is found by:

Total = 6²⁰  (or 6^20  or six to the power of twenty)

= 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6

= 3,656,158,440,062,980

Answer:

Three thousand, six hundred and fifty six Billion, one hundred and fifty eight thousand four hundred and forty Million, sixty two thousand, nine hundred and eighty.

Question: How long would it take to see EVERY combination, if you made one combination, every second, non stop?

Answer:

60 Seconds per Minute and 60 Minutes per Hour, so;

60 x 60 = 3,600 Seconds per Hour.

And 24 Hours per Day so;

3,600 x 24 = 86,400 Seconds per Day.

…And 365 Days per Year so;

86,400 x 365 = 31,536,000 Seconds per Year

So, Total Combinations divided by Seconds per Year;

3,656,158,440,062,980
       31,536,000

     = 115,936,023.6 Years

     115 Million Years!
