Subject:rubik's cube

Does anybody have any idea how to write ablitz program to solve a Rubik's cube. apart from working out that there are 18 possible moves and the total number of positions is in the region of 20 digits long the only thing I can think of is a loop trying it first in one move. However
with this method the total amount of moves goes up by a factor of 18:

Moves Total number
1 18
2 324
3 5832
4 104996
5 approx 1.8 million

This leads to the proram slowing down a lot. Prehaps it would be better in C
