This accounts for 3 X 3 X 3 X 3 = 81 possible states. Similarly, each of the four middle pieces can have three color orientations which accounts for another 81 possible states. Each of the six edge pieces has two color orientations, which accounts for2 X2 X 2 X 2X X2 2 = 64 possible states. In addition, the first edge piece can be placed in any one of six positions, the second piece-can be placed in any one of five positions and so on until the last edge piece isforced into the last remaining position.
