[Verba] Meeting summary

[Stuart D. Gathman]

We used line and circle commands to draw pictures, and started on a
"robots"  game.  On Saturday, I went to the Chenettes to get all the 
Python stuff installed for Rebecca, went through some of a tutorial
with Rebecca, and showed Open Office to Mr.  Chenette.  I am available to help
Jillian as well - just tell me when.

I think Jillian might be interested in a python program to solve the 
Rubik's cube.  The first step to understanding the problem is to count the 
number of combinations.  Note that it is *not* the total permutations of 
the colored squares (i.e. you can make a Rubik's cube impossible to solve 
by swapping colored squares .. a great joke to play on someone ..).

Here is a similar situation for a simpler puzzle:
