This cube will never be solved. According to the Blue-Red-White cube in the top-front corner, it needs to go in the next corner clockwise from where it is currently positioned, in order to match the blue center on the top and the white center in the front. This means the red center square has to be the opposite side of the cube from the green center square, which means there cannot exist an edge piece with both red and green on it. Since there is a red-green edge piece on this cube, it is a literally unsolveable cube.

But it was still a fun solve. :)

PS: I've solved the actual Rubik's cube more times than I can remember, and enjoy doing so, which has certainly added to my enjoyment in solving this puzzle. :)

Haha! Loved that video, Joe. Thank you! :)

I especially loved that the packaging on the original run of the Rubik's cube actually used an image of an impossible cube!
