Body
The simplest non-trivial algorithm I've found is this one: <a href="http://www.chessandpoker.com/rubiks-cube-solution.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.chessandpoker.com/rubiks-cube-solution.html</a> It doesn't look too hard to code up. The link mentioned in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1354949/easiest-to-code-algorithm-for-rubiks-cube/1354964#1354964">Yannick M.'s answer</a> looks good too, but the solution of '<a href="http://www.cubestation.co.uk/cs2/index.php?page=3x3x3/cfop/cross/cross" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the cross</a>' step looks like it might be a little more complex to me. There are a number of open source solver implementations which you might like to take a look at. Here's a <a href="http://www.pygame.org/project/932/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Python implementation</a>. This <a href="http://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/cubie.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Java applet</a> also includes a solver, and the source code is available. There's also a <a href="http://www.wrongway.org/mcube/solve.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Javascript solver</a>, also with downloadable source code. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1354949/easiest-to-code-algorithm-for-rubiks-cube/1355030#1355030">Anthony Gatlin's answer</a> makes an excellent point about the well-suitedness of Prolog for this task. Here's a detailed article about how to write your own <a href="http://www.amzi.com/articles/rubik.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Prolog solver</a>. The heuristics it uses are particularly interesting.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
