The maximal number of face turns needed to solve any instance of the Rubik's Cube is 20, [2] and the maximal number of quarter turns is 26. [3] These numbers are also the diameters of the corresponding Cayley graphs of the Rubik's Cube group. In STM (slice turn metric) the minimal number of turns is unknown, lower bound being 18 and upper bound ...
Variations of Rubik's Cubes. Top row: V-Cube 7, Professor's Cube, V-Cube 6. Bottom row: Rubik's Revenge, original Rubik's Cube, Pocket Cube. Clicking on a cube in the picture will redirect to the respective cube's page. (Note: scrambled states) A 17×17×17 cube. There are many different variations of Rubik's Cubes.
The Rubik's Cube is constructed by labeling each of the 48 non-center facets with the integers 1 to 48. Each configuration of the cube can be represented as a permutation of the labels 1 to 48, depending on the position of each facet. Using this representation, the solved cube is the identity permutation which leaves the cube unchanged, while ...
The Rubik's Cube world champion is 19 years old an can solve it in less than 6 seconds. While you won't get anywhere near his time without some years of practice, solving the cube is really not ...

The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube by James G. Nourse is a book that was published in 1981. The book explains how to solve the Rubik's Cube. The book became the best-selling book of 1981, selling 6,680,000 copies that year. It was the fastest-selling title in the 36-year history of Bantam Books.
This puzzle is not really a true 2-dimensional analogue of the Rubik's Cube. If the group of operations on a single polytope of an n-dimensional puzzle is defined as any rotation of an (n – 1)-dimensional polytope in (n – 1)-dimensional space then the size of the group, for the 5-cube is rotations of a 4-polytope in 4-space = 8×6×4 = 192,
A scrambled Rubik's Cube. An algorithm to determine the minimum number of moves to solve Rubik's Cube was published in 1997 by Richard Korf. [10] While it had been known since 1995 that 20 was a lower bound on the number of moves for the solution in the worst case, Tom Rokicki proved in 2010 that no configuration requires more than 20 moves.
