Sweet, can I mint these as NFTs? I don't know how to multiply 43252003274489856000 by 50 USD but I think it could make me a lot of money, and I like money.
Donald, is that you?

#63There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 (~4.3 × 10¹⁹) different positions.
1. If I try every position (1 position/sec) knowing it's unique, it will take me 1.37 trillion years.
2. If the pro tries (let's say 10 positions/sec), it will take 137 billion years.
The universe is younger than that. :-D
Wondering how fast the machine or computer will do that?

Here is another way of looking at the same question:

#66Wouldn't it be cool to click and then see the quickest solution and it rotates in front of you, or a sequence of moves to solve.

#67I wrote a 3d rubiks cube slot machine for my old online casino. It scrambled the cube randomly 4 times and gave the player 60 seconds to solve it by twisting up to 3 times. Lots of weird quaternion math to handle the spinning and shift key twisting at the same time. All with simple geometry in Away3D / AS3. The real hard part of designing that game was creating the payout structure. The game paid an equal amount for…

any time there is skill in an online casino game where money is involved, there is cheating too

#69Anyone else surprised how small the number is?
It looks quite big without commas but if you add them in it looks like the sort of number that is almost conceivable
43,252,003,274,489,856,000
43 quintillion, that's the type of number i've vaguely heard of.
Compared to the number of possibilities for a shuffled deck of cards
80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,804,000,000,000,000
Thats a big number, and weirdly I think those 00s at the end are exact not a rounding error.

In case someone is curious, NFTs were tradeable tokens popular for a short while in the early 2020s. > Initially pitched in 2017 as a new class of investment asset, NFT trading increased from US$82 million in 2020 to US$17 billion in 2021. Its market was occasionally compared to an economic bubble or a Ponzi scheme. In 2022, the NFT market collapsed; a May 2022 estimate was that the number of sales was down over 90%…
The reason NFTs "failed" is that the "assets" were jpegs with infinitesimal intrinsic value(pre–ai slop) and even less market appeal.
We have people wasting money on jpegs and people wanting to own things outside of game inventory screens even today. Something akin to NFTs could still become a part of the economy.
