	I started by buying a rubik's cube and marking each square with the number that corresponds to the space in the matrix it inhabits. Doing this makes it much easier to create code that models how the squares on the cube shift around when the cube is manipulated.

 The goal here is to create a program that can solve a rubik's cube, and tells you the steps to solve it, if you input the placement of the colors on the cube. All of this will be done using python.
-To model the cube I used a series of matrices, using the numbers 1 through 6 to represent the colors. These matrices can be seen above.
+To model the cube I used a series of matrices, using the numbers 1 through 6 to represent the colors. These matrices can be seen above. I had some trouble at first, because it has been about a year since I last used python I had forgotten that the matrix and list numbering starts at 0 instead of 1. Once I stopped being dumb and resolved the situation I had no more problems manipulating the matrices.
