+\subsection*{Example---the `superflip' configuration}
+
+Once you have mastered Rubik's cube, then an interesting exercise is to generate
+the so-called `superflip' configuration, in which all the corners are correctly
+solved, while all the edges are flipped.
+
+For the impatient, the superflip sequence of 24 quarter-turn rotations (listed on Randelshofer's website) is as follows. This converts the solved cube on the left into the configuration shown on the right.
+

+\begin{center}
+\RubikU\RubikR\RubikR\RubikFp\RubikR\RubikDp\RubikL\RubikBp\RubikR%
+\RubikUp\RubikR\RubikUp\RubikD\RubikFp\RubikU\RubikFp\RubikUp\RubikDp%
+\RubikB\RubikLp\RubikFp\RubikBp\RubikDp\RubikLp
+\end{center}
+
+\medskip
+
+{\noindent}Surprisingly, this sequence is actually equivalent to
+\Rubikbrace{\Rubikbracket{\RubikM\RubikUp}4, \Rubiky, \Rubikxp}3

+\end{minipage}
+\caption{Two images of the superflip configuration.}
+\end{figure}
+
+The code for all this is given below---note that the facelet colours can be
+written in various ways. Note also the trailing \% at the end of each line which is not inside a TikZ picture environment, and the value of placing each TikZ picture environment inside a minipage.
+Since the default width of a Rubik cube is 4cm (see \S\,7 Fig~2 in \texttt{rubikcube.pdf}), then since the TikZ scale here is 0.5 then the required width of its minipage is equal to $0.5 \times 4\mbox{cm} = 2\mbox{cm}$.

+\subsection*{Using the rubikrotation package}
+
+This is just a note to show that if this file were run in conjunction with the \texttt{rubikrotation} package, using the \LaTeX\ commandline switch \texttt{--shell-escape}, then the above figure could be generated more simply by replacing
+\begin{verbatim}
+\RubikFaceUp {Y}{B}{Y} {R}{Y}{O} {Y}{G}{Y}%
+\RubikFaceDown {W}{G}{W} {R}{W}{O} {W}{B}{W}%
+\RubikFaceLeft {R}{Y}{R} {B}{R}{G} {R}{W}{R}%
+\RubikFaceRight{O}{Y}{O} {G}{O}{B} {O}{W}{O}%
+\RubikFaceFront{G}{Y}{G} {R}{G}{O} {G}{W}{G}%
+\RubikFaceBack {B}{Y}{B}%
+ {O}{B}{R}%
+ {B}{W}{B}%
+\end{verbatim}
+with the command
+\begin{verbatim}
+\RubikRotation{\superflip}%
+\end{verbatim}
+ie,~using instead the following code:
+\begin{verbatim}
+-----------------
+\newcommand{\superflip}{U,R2,Fp,R,Dp,L,Bp,R,Up,R,Up,D,%
+Fp,U,Fp,Up,Dp,B,Lp,Fp,Bp,Dp,Lp}
