  2. Optimal solutions for the Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_solutions_for_the...

    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 ...

  3. CFOP method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFOP_method

    Cube mid-solve on the OLL step. The CFOP method (Cross – F2L – OLL – PLL), 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. This method was first developed in the early 1980s, combining ...

  4. Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube

    The Rubik's Cube is a 3D combination puzzle invented in 1974 [2][3] by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the Magic Cube, [4] the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Pentangle Puzzles in the UK in 1978, [5] and then by Ideal Toy Corp in 1980 [6] via businessman Tibor Laczi and Seven Towns ...

    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 ...

  6. Impossiball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossiball

    The Impossiball in a scrambled state. The Impossiball partway through a turn, showing how the pieces lift up. The Impossiball is a rounded icosahedral puzzle similar to the Rubik's Cube. It has a total of 20 movable pieces to rearrange, which is the same as the Rubik's Cube, but all of the Impossiball's pieces are corners, like the Pocket Cube .

  7. Superflip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superflip

    Superflip. The superflip or 12-flip is a special configuration on a Rubik's Cube, in which all the edge and corner pieces are in the correct permutation, and the eight corners are correctly oriented, but all twelve edges are oriented incorrectly ("flipped"). The term superflip is also used to refer to any algorithm that transforms the Rubik's ...

  8. Square-1 (puzzle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-1_(puzzle)

    The Square-1 puzzle was sold in this shape with instructions for turning it back to a cube. This is halfway through a vertical turn. The Square-1 is a variant of the Rubik's Cube. Its distinguishing feature among the numerous Rubik's Cube variants is that it can change shape as it is twisted, due to the way it is cut, thus adding an extra level ...

  9. Proof of impossibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_impossibility

    e. In mathematics, an impossibility theorem is a theorem that demonstrates a problem or general set of problems cannot be solved. These are also known as proofs of impossibility, negative proofs, or negative results. Impossibility theorems often resolve decades or centuries of work spent looking for a solution by proving there is no solution.
