Rubik's Swap (Posted on 2021-06-01)

You own a traditional 3x3x3 Rubik's cube, with nine stickers on each of its six faces.

When you're not looking, a mischievous sprite randomly selects two stickers, peels them off and swaps their places on the cube. What is the probability that the cube can still be solved?

(In reply to solution -- I think by Charlie)

What if they are the two stickers from the same edge piece?

Is it possible to rotate this without upsetting the rest?

Answer appears to be no:
