thankyou sooo much! Just back home after 3 days of frustration trying to complete this evil plaything! Can't imagine how you worked it out - over 9000 solutions -yes but must be 10 million ways not to do it!!!
@JamiesTivTV Of the 12 puzzle pieces, 10 may be rotated into 24 possible orientations, and 2 may be rotated into 12 possible orientations. This means there are 2410 x 122 = 9,130,086,859,014,144 (over 9 quadrillion) possible piece orientation combinations to try. The pieces may also be fitted, or 'tiled', into the 4x4x4 cube in 12! = 12x11x10x(...)x2x1 = 479,001,600 possible piece ordering permutations. The product of these numbers is 4,373,326,213,606,749,398,630,400
