The "CubeCheater" iPhone app allows you to take a picture of your existing puzzle and the application will walk you through the solution to the puzzle. Although we're not sure if we want to encourage cheating here at Make, we like the ingenuity of apps like this that mathematically deconstruct objects in order to find out how they tick.

Does it work on 4x4x4 cubes too? I mastered the 3x3x3 many years ago but I haven't messed up my 4x4x4 yet. If I had the "insurance" of being able to get it back, it wouldn't feel so tramatic to play with it.
And the 4 cube is a much more complex hinge, so don't suggest taking it apart. And peeling the stickers just ruins a cube.
