This problably wouldn't be to cool a thing to do. A fella named Douglas Hopstader(?) wrote a book called Meta-Mathematics (same guy who wrote The Golden Knot). In this book he developed (or showed, forget who should get credit) an algorithm to solve Rubiks cube from any beginning state.
His name is Douglas Hofstader and the book is called "metamagical themas".
