Problem: Concoct a centered-cube, non-contact position and a sequence of rolls from that position with the property that, with perfect play, the game ends with the cube on 64. The smaller the total pip count of your position, the better.

I don't actually know the answer to this puzzle but I thought it might be amusing to try.
