The cube restricted to only 6 edges, not looking at the corners nor at the other edges. The cube restricted to the other 6 edges. Clearly the number of moves required to solve any of these subproblems is a lower bound for the number of moves needed to solve the entire cube. Given a random cube C, it is solved as iterative deepening. First all ...
The following are the official speedcubing world records approved by the WCA as of 15 February 2025. [4]Note: For averages of 5 solves, the best time and the worst time are dropped, and the mean of the remaining 3 solves is taken.
On 22 June 2024 in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, Wang achieved a world record average of 0.78 seconds on the 2×2×2.The manner in which Wang started the competition-standard StackMat timer drew criticism; frame-by-frame analysis of the solves revealed that Wang had touched or even begun turning the puzzle before lifting his hands off the timer in some of the solves, [12] both of which constitute ...
Nineteen people competed in the event, and the American Minh Thai won with a single solve time of 22.95 seconds, which was, at the time, the fastest Rubik's Cube solve ever recorded. Other attendees include Jessica Fridrich and Lars Petrus , both of whom later contributed to the development of new solving methods and the speedcubing community ...
Non-human solving: The fastest non-human Rubik's Cube solve was performed by Rubik's Contraption, a robot made by Ben Katz and Jared Di Carlo. A YouTube video shows a 0.38-second solving time using a Nucleo with the min2phase algorithm. [98] Highest order physical n×n×n cube solving: Jeremy Smith solved a 21x21x21 in 95 minutes and 55.52 seconds.
Cube mid-solve on the OLL step. The CFOP method (Cross – F2L (first 2 layers) – OLL (orientate last layer) – PLL (permutate last layer)), also known as the Fridrich method, is one of the most commonly used methods in speedsolving a 3×3×3 Rubik's Cube. It is one of the fastest methods with the other most notable ones being Roux and ZZ.
Petrus grew up in Gammelstaden just outside of Luleå. [4]He took up speedcubing in the early 1980s, learning it over the course of a summer when he was unemployed. [5] In 1982, he became the national champion of Sweden, and went on to finish fourth overall at the first official Rubik's Cube World Championships held in Budapest, Hungary.
God's algorithm is a notion originating in discussions of ways to solve the Rubik's Cube puzzle, [1] but which can also be applied to other combinatorial puzzles and mathematical games. [2] It refers to any algorithm which produces a solution having the fewest possible moves (i.e., the solver should not require any more than this number).
