COMMENTS

See under A090573.

EXAMPLE

a(1)=4 because the empty space located at mid-edge of one of the 12 edges of the assumed initial configuration can be replaced in the first move by any of the adjacent 2 cubes from the same edge or by the adjacent mid-face cubes of the 2 faces forming this edge.

CROSSREFS
