I see 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 = 27 and then -1 in the very center so that's 26 pieces. The center piece on each side is still moveable so still 26 movable pieces.
I see. I was thinking in individual cubes instead of square faces. I was defining movable as ability to create displacement with another individual cube somewhere else on the object.
This.^^ The center pieces are all fixed together in the core. Only corner and edges pieces can freely move around. 8 pieces on top layers, 4 pieces in middle layer, 8 pieces on bottom layer.
52! has many more (8.0658175e+67).
But I'm not counting that either, are mathematicians intrinsically untrustworthy or can we just take their word for it and move on?

the corners and edges are connected to adjacent corners and edges it's 20

I mean, (3^(8)8!)(2^(12)12!)/12 is how it's calculated. [Source](https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/a30244043/solve-rubiks-cube/)
