I just peel the stickers off!

Statement

Goal

Can a Rubik's cube be solved by Restickering™?

A popular method to pretend you can solve the Rubik's cube when no one's watching is to peel the stickers off and glue them back into place. It's not a very good method, as it tends to damage the stickers irreparably, but from a theoretical point of view it does the job.

Feliks has left his scrambled cube on the table for only a few minutes, but as he comes back from his break, he notices an evil grin on Lucas's face. Has Lucas been messing around with the cube and spare stickers in a way that makes it unsolvable using the Restickering™ method? Help Feliks by telling him whether or not he can peel and glue the stickers back into place.

You are given a cube state in pattern format. A solved cube looks like this:


    UUU
    UUU
    UUU

LLL FFF RRR BBB
LLL FFF RRR BBB
LLL FFF RRR BBB

    DDD
    DDD
    DDD

Letters ULFRBD mean “this sticker belongs on the Up/‌Left/‌Front/‌Right/‌Back/‌Down face”.

A monochrome cube, e.g. with only U stickers, is obviously unsolvable using the Restickering™ method.

A cube where an R′ move (right face counterclockwise quarter turn, in standard notation) has been applied is solvable using the Restickering™ method and looks like the example below.

Input

11 lines (including 2 blank): a cube pattern

Output

SOLVABLE if it is possible to peel the stickers off and glue them back in a solved cube.
UNSOLVABLE otherwise.

Constraints

Apart from the stickering, all cubes are standard 3×3×3 Rubik's cubes.
Only valid sticker colors are provided.

I think that this maybe even is a bit too trivial... but for a clash it could be working because you might even be able to one-line it in some languages :D

My forecast is that it's going to be *very* dependent on who reads it. Some are going to panic at the very sight of "Rubik", others are going to recognize it for the trivial problem it is. The more general point is: it's the easiest in the series, but it has its place. It's doable in clash (hence my submitting it there), but it could actually make sense to duplicate it to community puzzles once the others "can it be solved this way" are approved, to enable a more gradual difficulty slope. My proposed sample solution is 78 characters (though I'll admit I didn't spend as much on it as I would have on a clash). How long is yours? :D

Submitting as clash because the solution's really trivial, but I really have no problem whatsoever with it moving to Puzzles if it's deemed to complex a statement for clashing. (Sorry, no clashing in a long time on my side, I might be out of touch) Please be careful if you edit: I've put a few ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINERs around to help general appearance.

I edited the "x2" case, the first empty line was wrong.
