I have no idea why. A so-called 3x3 cube is standard, and has 3x3x3 small cubes (well, actually, the standard engineering form of it has eight corner cubes, twelve edge cubes, and six center cubes, not one of which is actually a cube, so that's 26 non-cubes and nothing in the middle), and analogously the others. I suppose calling it a Three Cube or a Four Cube isn't clear, and certainly 3x3x3 is redundant. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

So, we don't fully understand the problem you are trying to solve, we don't understand the terminology you are using, and we're not really inclined to do all the work doing the hard part -- the part you apparently don't know how to solve -- just so that you can mention our name somewhere in a Read Me file and then claim the program as your own work. Especially since the problem you are trying to solve appears to be impossible, according to the link you posted earlier: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?46268-Introducing-GlassSolver-back-and-better-than-ever!p=951473 tl;dr: you've announced a project that never existed as back and better than ever, and asked others to write the code for you. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Google Cloud Platform and GlassSolver Project
I am fully ready to invest in the Google Cloud Platform, and bring with me my very own idea: Glass Solver (Sometimes called GlaSolver). Long story short, this application for Google Glass will connect to the Cloud to retrieve God's Algorithm for the cube sitting in front of you by doing a series of scans of the cube. But, that (specifically) is not what I came here for. In order to have all these algorithms, I have to make them first. One important detail that is probably worth mentioning is the fact that this application will support no only 3x3s. It will also support 2x2s,4x4s,and 5x5s. The last 2 mentioned have not been done before. God's Number has never been found for the 4x4 or 5x5 cube. But thanks to Google and their Compute Platform, it is possible. I myself am relatively new to Python. My experience is in Java primarily. Again, long story even shorter, I am asking for a Python (2.7 please!) script for each cube. Thanks for reading this and possibly for your script! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
