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 ...
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).
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.
The Minx of Madness was revealed in May 2022. It is the dodecahedral equivalent to a 21x21x21 Rubik's cube. [8] Alexander's Star is equivalent to solving only the edges of a six-color Megaminx. The Impossiball and Kilominx are equivalent to solving only the corners of a Megaminx, but are very different mechanically. The Impossiball is available ...
Software design features, unavailable in hardware cubes, can simplify the cube solving process. For a given set of cube design features the complexity (difficulty) of solving a Rubik’s family cube increases if the number of reachable states increases. Three main properties affect that number:
On a crazy cube type I, they are internally connected in such a way that they essentially move as 8 distinct pieces, not 24. To solve such a cube, think of it as a 2x2x2 (pocket cube) trapped inside a 4x4x4 (Rubik's Revenge). Solve the 2x2x2 first, then solve the 4x4x4 by making exchanges only. Solving the type II is much more difficult.
Due to its substantially low number of combinations and its low God's Number, the Pyraminx Duo is a relatively easy puzzle to solve; it has been described as "arguably the easiest non-trivial twisty puzzle". [2] Because of this, cubers usually come up with their own methods of solving the puzzle.
The superflip is a completely symmetrical combination, which means applying a superflip algorithm to the cube will always yield the same position, irrespective of the orientation in which the cube is held. The superflip is self-inverse; i.e. performing a superflip algorithm twice will bring the cube back to the starting position.
