Four-Dimensional Rubik's Cube Craziness

roice writes "Rubik's junkies and puzzlers will be interested in this software rendered four-dimensional analog of Rubik's Cube. With over 1.75E120 possible combinations, it's a mind bender. Free versions are available for both Windows and Linux, and they even publish their source code for download. Solving it will get your name listed in their Hall Of Fame, and there is also a running competition for the most efficient solution. To help get you started, you can check out a solution algorithm based on techniques used to solve the popular three-dimensional version."

    The reason behind this is pretty simple IMO, LEGO is not a countable noun. Just like water or soil. You don't say "I have one or two waters" you say "I have a little water or a lot of water". As a kid I would have said "I have heaps of lego" when boasting(which I probably did often". Of course LEGO is countable in that you can have one piece and two pieces, but there again it is pieces of lego, not legos. Actually, legos is just really stupid.
