    Default Desperately need help for Uni Assignment. Willing to pay.

    I've been battling with a particular assignment for my 3rd year computer science paper for over three weeks now. After many hours of struggling I still feel far from a solution. The assignment is to write code that will solve a puzzle. The puzzle consists of 12 pentagons with each side of the pentagon having a colored animals head or bottom facing right or left. Such that a red left facing head would match with a red right facing bottom. When every side is matched they make a dodecahedron. We have been given 3 puzzles which correspond to the 3 text files. I have written this code but it only seems to solve the problem when I make an input file with 7pieces or less. I have included the latest version of code I have written as well as the input files. I realize that my code is extremely sloppy, convoluted and hard to understand (especially the solve method) but I would appreciate any help. If someone were to solve it for me I would be happy to pay 50NZD. Please help me as I am at my wits end. If you need more documentation or information in regards to the question don't hesitate to ask. Thanks.

    How does the final dodecahedron have to be rendered? Do you have to render the shape in 3D? I need a few more details on the project before I can give any help.

    No all you have to do is display what pieces and sides correspond to each other. The final output may be something like Piece 1: Side 1 red left-facing tail corrosponds to Piece 8: side 2 red right-facing head, ect. I'd probably format the output to some extent but I'm desperate to get it working so that every piece is in a position and every side matches correctly. Also in the brief we were giving it said "At least one of the puzzles can be solved" so not all of the .txt files may work.
