And, in fact, that's exactly what most solvers do, even using a group theory notation indicating turns.

而且，事实上，这正是大多数求解器所，至使用指示转弯符号。

However, using group theory we can analyze the cube and determine a sequence of permutations that will result in a solution.

但是， 使用，我们可以分析立体并确定将产生解决案排列序列。

That question doesn't make a lot of sense at first, but an abstract mathematical field called group theory holds the answer, if you'll bear with me.

这个问题一开始并没有多大意义，但是如果你能忍受我话，一个叫抽象数学领域就有了答案。

In the 1970s, mathematician John McKay was making a switch to studying group theory to an adjacent field, and he noticed that a number very similar to this 196,883 showed up in a completely unrelated context, or at least, almost.

20世纪70年代， 数学家约翰·麦凯转而研究一个相邻领域，他发现一个与196,883非常相似数字出现在了一个完全不相关背景中，或者至少是几乎不相关。
