Net​​ or​​ not? [FINALIZED]

Now posted: Net​​ or​​ not?


Given a hexomino, indicate whether it is a net of a cube.

Input

  • A 6 by 6 grid containing exactly 6 filled squares.
  • The 6 filled squares will be in a single edge connected set (a hexomino).
  • The topmost row and leftmost column will never be empty (the hexomino will be as far up and left as it can go).
  • The grid is represented as 6 newline separated strings of 6 characters, with # for a filled square and . for an empty square.

Output

  • One of 2 distinct values to indicate whether the hexomino can be folded to give a cube.

The hexominoes

A hexomino is an edge connected subset of the square tiling, composed of exactly 6 squares.

Up to rotation and reflection, there are 35 edge connected hexominoes, 11 of which are nets of a cube.

The 11 nets of a cube[2]

The 11 nets of a cube

Your code must also accept inputs that are rotations and reflections of these. There are a total of 216 hexominoes including all rotations by a multiple of 90 degrees and reflections, 64 of which are cube nets. The test cases include all of these.
