An essentially impossible game.
I will give $100 to someone who can even begin to solve this 4-D Rubik's Cube type game.
It took me like 5 minutes just to figure out all the different ways you can manipulate the figure. If you click on each individual cube, you can move the thing in a different way. Also if you hold down different numbers when you click, then different levels of the thing move. There must be thousands of possible ways to simply rotate the damn thing on one move.
A cool thing to do is to hit capital 'S' to scramble it up and then lowercase 's' to watch the computer solve it.
Who even thought of this, let alone decided that someone might be able to solve it? I'd bet that it would take a computer a while to solve this, let alone a person.
I know you're thinking that the program solves itself relatively easily, but I'm excluding that computer because it's tracking it's own moves and can simply reverse them. A computer that was trained to play this game but without an 'inside' knowledge of the moves already made I'd bet would take a while to solve it.

The trick is to start out at the smallest size puzzle - 2x2x2x2
Then once you've got that figured out, you can start tackling the larger sized puzzles
