A New Technique to Solve the Instant Insanity Problem with 5 Cubes
Keywords:
Mathematical Puzzles.
Abstract
Instant Insanity consists of four cubes, each of whose six faces are colored with one of the four colors: red, blue, white, and green. The object is to stack the cubes in such a way that each of the four colors appears on each side of the resulting column.
Traditionally, this could be solved using graph theory. We solved this problem without using graph theory [1]. However, in this article, we introduce a new technique to solve the problem without using graph theory by adding another cuberesulting in a puzzle with five cubes instead of four cubes.
