The system also comprises an image capturing device for capturing an image of a face of the puzzle cube and an image recognition component communicably connected to the image capturing device. The image recognition component is adapted to determine an arrangement of the symbols contained in the captured image. The system also includes a database containing a plurality of database entries, each database entry being indexed by an arrangement of the symbols, and a database access component communicably connected to the image recognition component and to the database. The database access component is adapted to access the database and retrieve the database entry indexed by the arrangement of symbols determined by the image recognition component.
