a(1)=4 because the empty space located at mid-edge of one of the 12 edges of the assumed initial configuration can be replaced in the first move by any of the adjacent 2 cubes from the same edge or by the adjacent mid-face cubes of the 2 faces forming this edge.

a(1)=4 because the empty space located at the center of a face of the combination cube in the assumed initial configuration can be replaced in the first move by one of the 4 adjacent cubes located at the edges of the face initially containing the empty space. The cube at the center of the combination cube cannot replace the empty space because the construction of this puzzle inhibits the movement of the central cube.
