You wish to color every vertex, edge, face, and the interior of a cube one color each such that no two adjacent objects are the same color. Faces are adjacent if they share an edge. Edges are adjacent if they share a vertex. The interior is adjacent to all of its faces, edges, and vertices. Each face is adjacent to all of its edges and vertices, but is not adjacent to any other edges or vertices. Each edge is adjacent to both of its vertices, but is not adjacent to any other vertices. What is the minimum number of colors required for a coloring satisfying this property?

Alice and Bob want to play a game. In the beginning of the game, they are teleported to two random position on a train, whose length is $ 1 $ km. This train is closed and dark. So they dont know where they are. Fortunately, both of them have iPhone 133, it displays some information: 1. Your facing direction 2. Your total walking distance 3. whether you are at the front of the train 4. whether you are at the end of the train Moreover, one may see the information of the other one. Once Alice and Bob meet, the game ends. Alice and Bob can only discuss their strategy before the game starts. Find the least value $ x $ so that they are guarantee to end the game with total walking distance $ \le x $ km.
