Re: LOL! Code easter egg! I love it!!

In the litany of occurrences of 42, I don't think the number of facets on a Rubik's cube was mentioned. Six faces to a cube. Nine facets to a face. 42 facets.

BTW. Speaking of Rubik's cubes. If you had a computer capable of examining a million different configurations of the cube per second, how long would it take the computer to examine every possible configuration, and thus see the one correct configuration? This, of course, presumes there is not an orientable decal on each facet, which would result in just a few more possible configurations.
