because someone removed the colored stickers and put them back wrong and now in the lower right there's two red on the corner :)

OK. This is one reason. Others?

Two edge pieces with red & green.
Two corner pieces with red & green.

and finally, there are 5 red corners, which requires an oddly shaped square to be able to fit them all in, even if you could get the two corners that are on the same piece to appear on the same face of the cube.

(I didn't worry about classifying this as a spoiler - the title gives away the image completely.)

Not my area of expertise. But, then, not much is.

Martin - There *could* be two corner pieces that have red and green, if (going around the point in the same direction) they were [red, green, x] and [red, x, green]. However, both of these are (widdershins) [red, green, x], so these two red-green corners are an impossible combination.


That and the fact that this is just an image. You cannot have a two-dimensional Rubik's Cube.

So, here's my Hungarian lineage: my grandmother was the child of Miklos Megyesy (born in 1890 in Lalescz, Hungary), and Ilona Kovacs (born in 1895 in Koszey/Koszeg, Hungary). They moved to Lorain, OH, which had a large Hungarian population, and had 4 children after they moved to America.

I can't find Lalescz on a map, but I also can't find a good quality image of a map of Hungary from 1890. It may have become Lelesz, or that could be a different town entirely.

"Lalescz" is a meanless letter combination either in Hungarian or languages of nearby nations. It's sure there wasn't a place named this way. KÅ‘szeg is a little town, close to Austria.
At that times there wasn't a state named Hungary. Until 1918 there was Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy (which contained today's whole Slovakia and Croatia, and great parts of Roumania, Bohemia and Serbia)

Lelesz 1 (now Leles): A village in Slovakia, close to Kosice
Lelesz 2 (now Tarnalelesz): A Hungarian village in Heves county.
Both are very far from KÅ‘szeg (in Hungarian measures) :)

I'm just going by what someone put on Ancestry.com. All I know is that several Megyesy/Megyesi families settled in Lorain, Ohio, in the early 1900s. Spellings may have been changed when they immigrated.

There are more different forms of this family name, and not only by i/y. It can be with simple or double g, because there is a word "megye" (cournty) and another word "meggy" (sour cherry). Proper names can be derived from both. So Megyesi means "from that county" and "Meggyesi" means "from a cherry garden". F.e.: Prime Minister of Hungary was Péter Meggyesy (2002-04) and a well-known journalist is Gusztáv Megyesi Their names had derived from different roots.
(Medgyesi form is used in Transylvania, but it's the same as Meggyesi.)
About i/y ending: Usually -y ending names were held by feudally nobles and -i names by not-nobles. :)
(Especially my original Slavic family name is written in 4 different form in OUR family, and it's known in other (German) forms, too.)
