解决Colored Cubes问题

Engineering Puzzle

You have four colored cubes. Each side of each cube is a single color,
and there are four colors: blue (B), red (R), green (G) and yellow (Y)
Describing the six faces as front, back, left, right, top, bottom, the
cube colors are:

Front  Back Left Right Top Bottom
1    R     B    G    Y     B    Y
2    R     G    G    Y     B    B
3    Y     B    R    G     Y    R
4    Y     G    B    R     R    R


The objective is to find ways to stack the four cubes as a vertical
column so that each side of the column is showing all four colors.

#cube对象，其中包含一个Color属性，此属性是一个Struct对象，依次为所有边的颜色
class Cube
  attr_accessor :color

  def initialize(color)
    @color=color
    @rotation      = 0
    @times_rotated = 0
  end

#这里我们可以设置一个三维坐标，每个盒子的24中摆放方式就是通过这个3为坐标的不同轴的旋转得到。
  def rotate
    @times_rotated = @times_rotated + 1
    
    
    #y轴的旋转
    tmp_top = @color.Top

    @color.Right=tmp_top
#当为4的倍数时意味着已经回到开始的位置，因此需要变换坐标轴
    if @times_rotated % 4 == 0
      tmp_front = @color.Front
#当为2的倍数时意味着又一次要回到刚才已经变换过得位置，因此未免重复，需要再次变换坐标轴
      if @rotation % 2 == 0
        #x轴的旋转
