  Try resizing the puzzle. Notice the puzzle resizes to take advantage of
  the "room" available.

  The auto-solver here only works for 2x2x2 and 3x3x3 (orient lines off).
  One of the problems in auto-solvers the generally do not work for
  different number of cuts.  If you know of one let me know.

  Also a tesseract (4D cube) would be nice. (I heard a 3^N cube has been
  built in software and solved!)

  Personally, I have solved 1-3 using this program, 2-5 using the
  physical cubes, and 6 to my knowledge have never been done (be the
  first on your block).

  Refer to the man page for detailed command line options.

  If you want further information on puzzles, I'll be glad :-) to send
  it to you.

SOLVING THE CENTER CUBES (orientation mode)
  1.  The top and front centers are upside down
      (Middle move up, top turned 180,
      Middle move down, top turned 180) x 3
  2.  The top is down, front is correct
      (Top 90, Front 180) x 30
  3.  Top 3 oclock, Front 9 oclock
      (Front ccw, top 90 cw) x 63
  4.  Top 3 oclock, Front 3 oclock
      (Front cw, top 90 cw) x 105
