Some thoughts about the comments: 1. "Actually 0! = 1, so a 0x0x0 has 1 permutation" I get the arguments for why a 0x0x0 would have 1 permutation. Because 0! or 0^0 = 1, because there's only 1 way to arrange 0 things. But if you use the mathematical formula to find the number of permutations for any nxnxn, you get a divide by 0 error. So really It should actually maybe be *Undefined*? 2. "How does the 3x3x3 have more permutations than a 3x3x4?" The 3x3x4 has 4 sides that are restricted to ONLY 180 degree turns.

From one of your sources: "There are 8 corners and 8 edges, giving a maximum of 8!·8! positions. This limit is not reached because the orientation of the puzzle does not matter. There are 4 equivalent ways to orient the puzzle with a white centre on top, so this leaves 8!·8!/4 = 406,425,600 distinct positions. If the centre orientation is visible, then there seem to be 4·4 possible orientations of the two centres. There is a parity constraint however, as the parity of the number of quarter turns of the centres must be equal to the parity of the corner permutation. This means that the centre orientations only increase the number of positions by a factor of 8, giving 8!·8!·8/4 = 3,251,404,800 distinct positions." The second one that seems half-wrong is the 3x3x3 . The full number is right, but you must have accidentally copy-pasted the previous entry, 3x3x4 for that number in scientific notation; it says just 4.1 x 10^16 yet the number above is clearly the correct and much greater value of 4.3 x 10^19.

how does the 3x3x4 have less than the 3x3x3 (if the vertical rotations dont work it would make more sense but it just would be the dodo cube but with 4 instead of 2 layers)
I guess I’m not quite understanding the 3x3. I know it’s a 2 dimensional puzzle, but I can’t figure out why it’s 24, I can only see 12 permutations I imagine it’s something incredibly simple, but yeah 😬
For the 2D square puzzles, just imagine mirroring each side. So only the corners can move around. So then it's just 4! factorial, which is 4x3x2x1 = 24

I kept thinking about it, and I think I've come to the conclusion that the 0x0x0 has an indeterminate number of permutations. Counting the "permutations" of twisty puzzles is just a tiny bit misleading, because it technically includes both the permutations and the orientations of the pieces For example, a 2x2x2 has 7! permutations of its pieces (assuming one is stationary), multiplied by 3^6 orientations (still assuming one stationary piece, and dividing out the orientation of the last corner which is forced by the others) equaling 3674160 total permutations. If we apply this logic to the 0x0x0, which has 0 pieces, each with 0 possible positions, and 0 possible orientations, we find that the total permutations would equal the number of permutations of the pieces (0!) multiplied by the number of orientations (0^0) This yields the result of 0!*0^0 = 0^0, which is indeterminate. I guess it kinda makes sense for the number of permutations for a puzzle that doesn't even exist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i dont think it makes sense to extend that formula exactly as it is to the 0x0x0. if you look at it from a more practical viewpoint, it seems like it should be 1 for the same reason 0! = 1
I understand everyone's arguments that 0^0 is 1, and 0! is one, and that there's 1 way that nothing can be in. The way that I thought of it originally was if you don't have anything in the first place, than what are you arranging? You can't arrange objects that you don't have any of. It's like the question doesn't even make sense, like how anything/0 is undefined. I actually think a 0x0x0 should have Undefined permutations
@@RowanFortier I think it actually makes some sense for there to be undefined permutations, though 1 permutation still makes more sense to me. Ig it depends on the persons perception on a 0x0x0.
The 1x1x1 is impossible as it comes solved for you so you basically have it done for you and it can't turn so you can't solve it and it is always solved

What about the maple leaf skewb? We have that one and it's easy enough to solve without any knowledge beforehand and doesn't have that many permutations but I'm wondering where it's at on this list.
The 3^9 has 9,1556069*10^118409 permutations. I did the calculations for the 3^8 and 3^10 too, but i cannot find the numbers nor the calculation rn. But if i remember correctly. the 3^8 had something like 10^35000 permutations and the 3^10 something like 10^500000.

not every 0mm smidge you can turn it and it would have different shape?
omg!1!1(1(1!1(1 this really proves that the 1x1x1 is the hardest puzzle made by man!1!1!1!1!1
how does the 3x3x4 have less than the 3x3x3 (if the vertical rotations dont work it would make more sense but it just would be the dodo cube but with 4 instead of 2 layers)
I guess I’m not quite understanding the 3x3. I know it’s a 2 dimensional puzzle, but I can’t figure out why it’s 24, I can only see 12 permutations
I imagine it’s something incredibly simple, but yeah 😬
For the 2D square puzzles, just imagine mirroring each side. So only the corners can move around. So then it's just 4! factorial, which is 4x3x2x1 = 24
@@RowanFortier hmmm…I’m still not quite getting it, I’m sure if I saw it in action it would be obvious, but I’m just kinda bad at picturing these things. Definitely appreciate the reply though 👍🏻
Thanks to the man who tried all of these combinations!

what formulas are used to calculate these amounts of permutations?
Some crazy smart math guy found a formula for any nxnxn puzzle
Well,technically 0x0x0 should have one permutation cuz “nothing”is a state of the puzzle 😂

0x0x0 actually has undefined permutations
It's either 0, 1, or undefined 🤷♂️
@@RowanFortier It's basically 0/0 so 2, 3, π, -1, e^i, 69, in fact every number would also technically be correct, but also not really
@@Ascyt That can be true, but if you only try to do the proof using algebraic methods or limits you can only get 1, 0 or undefined

That last one takes "I'm 4 dimensions ahead of you" to a whole other level
Prove to me that 0x0x0 has 0 permutations instead of 1
So true. I was thinking about this, and ultimately decided that because 0x0x0 = 0, there is no puzzle, which means it doesn't exist so of course it has 0 permutations.
But I also completely see the logic behind "it has 1 permutation, that of existing"
@@RowanFortier 0! Is equal to 1 so I think the argument is that even if it exists or doesn't exist it still has one state or permutation
@@RowanFortier ! (read: factorial) is a common method to calculate the number of positions/permutations something has.
n!=1x2x3x..x(n-1)x(n)
ex. 3 toilets can be arranged in 3! (1x2x3=6) ways.
but 0!=1 acording to mathematicians and calculators, because there is only one state of nothingness, which is: nothingness.

Does the 0x0 have infinite permutations or 0?
How do you make these videos?
Can you make a tutorial on a 4d 4x4?
How does 3x3x4 have less then 3x3x3 i dont get it so far
these are unimaginable numbers
I kept thinking about it, and I think I've come to the conclusion that the 0x0x0 has an indeterminate number of permutations. Counting the "permutations" of twisty puzzles is just a tiny bit misleading, because it technically includes both the permutations and the orientations of the pieces
For example, a 2x2x2 has 7! permutations of its pieces (assuming one is stationary), multiplied by 3^6 orientations (still assuming one stationary piece, and dividing out the orientation of the last corner which is forced by the others) equaling 3674160 total permutations.
If we apply this logic to the 0x0x0, which has 0 pieces, each with 0 possible positions, and 0 possible orientations, we find that the total permutations would equal the number of permutations of the pieces (0!) multiplied by the number of orientations (0^0) This yields the result of 0!*0^0 = 0^0, which is indeterminate.
I guess it kinda makes sense for the number of permutations for a puzzle that doesn't even exist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
0 factorial is 1, and 0^0 is also defined as 1 (I think), which would actually make it have 1 permutation somehow
The one permutation would be nothing?
@@RowanFortier 0^0 is indeterminate because 0^n=0 and n^0 = 1. 0^0 falls into both of these, so it’s not possible to determine an answer
i dont think it makes sense to extend that formula exactly as it is to the 0x0x0. if you look at it from a more practical viewpoint, it seems like it should be 1 for the same reason 0! = 1
@@brcktn But 0^0 is often defined as =1 especially in these cases where it comes to counting permutations
10*10 icosahedron how much

how does the 3x3x4 have less permutations than the 3x3x3
Wait how does a 3×3×3 cube have more permutations than a 3×3×4? I thought it would have less but idk.
The 1x3x3 has 192 combinations without shape shifting, but with shape shifting it probably has 10,000-1 million combinations.
Why are there more combinations in a 3x3x3 then a 4x3x3?
actually, if you think about it, the number of combinations on a 0x0x0 is 1, because there is only 1 way to arrange none.
I understand everyone's arguments that 0^0 is 1, and 0! is one, and that there's 1 way that nothing can be in. The way that I thought of it originally was if you don't have anything in the first place, than what are you arranging? You can't arrange objects that you don't have any of. It's like the question doesn't even make sense, like how anything/0 is undefined. I actually think a 0x0x0 should have Undefined permutations
@@RowanFortier I think it actually makes some sense for there to be undefined permutations, though 1 permutation still makes more sense to me. Ig it depends on the persons perception on a 0x0x0.
