Perhaps I replied too simply. Your question may be not, “How do you perform the graphical solution of Instant Insanity?”, but “Why does the graphical process work? What if, instead of cubes, the puzzle had dodecahedrons or some other shape, or was in 4 or 5 dimensions, or had some other complicated variation? Would the graphical approach work as is, or need adjustment, or totally fail?” That is a much deeper question, about which I have no idea. — Mike

Does anyone understand the solution presented at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_Insanity ?
(I don't.)
More broadly, does anyone know of SOME way of solving the puzzle that doesn't involve a goodly amount of trial-and-error?
