Why does Jane's cube have a corner piece with 2 red sides and why are there 2 orange center pieces on it, this would suggest that 2 of the sides are red and 2 of the sides are orange, but there are still 6 colors... Did she get some kind of rubik's hypercube?
This feels... really out of character for our resident indie-puzzle gamer. Unless she just wants to stick it on a desk, in which case... yeah, it looks better unsolved.
I always solved it with the "knife" method, aka sticking a knife in the seams, prying it to pieces, and reassembling it solved. I can imagine Alek doing that too.
