Calendar Cubes pt 2 (Posted on 2002-09-13) Difficulty: 3 of 5

Okay, you've figured out how to display all of the days of the month using two cubes in "Calendar Cubes". Now here's your next challenge:

Spell the months of the year with a letter on each face of three cubes. Use lowercase three-letter English abbreviations for the names of all twelve months (e.g., "jan", "feb", "mar").

Consider the folloing three months: jan, jun, aug. if each letter is used once only (d and p being represented by a single letter, then the a in jan must be on the same cube as the u in jun. But in aug, they must be on separate cubes. Fortunately the n in jan and jun can be reversed to form the u in aug, so we are not lost yet.

I am still working on the complete soution and will hopefully have it tonight to post.
