Professor's Cube. The Professor's Cube (also known as the 5×5×5 Rubik's Cube and many other names, depending on manufacturer) is a 5×5×5 version of the original Rubik's Cube. It has qualities in common with both the 3×3×3 Rubik's Cube and the 4×4×4 Rubik's Revenge, and solution strategies for both can be applied.
Speedcubing, also referred to as speedsolving, is a competitive mind sport centered around the rapid solving of various combination puzzles. The most prominent puzzle in this category is the 3×3×3 puzzle, commonly known as the Rubik's Cube. Participants in this sport are called "speedcubers" (or simply "cubers"), who focus specifically on ...
Feliks Aleksanders Zemdegs [1] (/ ˈ f ɛ l ɪ k s ˈ z ɛ m d ɛ ɡ z /, Latvian: Fēlikss Zemdegs; born 20 December 1995) is an Australian Rubik's Cube speedsolver.He is one of only two speedcubers ever to win the World Cube Association World Championship twice (the other being Max Park), winning in 2013 and 2015, and is widely considered the most successful and greatest speedcuber of all time.
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. The allusion to the deity is based on the notion that an ...
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 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 innovations by a number of ...
Kevin Hays. Kevin Hays (born 12 May 1994) is a former professional American Rubik's Cube speedcuber. Recognized as an expert at solving big cubes (5x5x5, 6x6x6 and 7x7x7), he has won 6 world championship titles and set 21 world records across the three events. He has also set 47 North American records and won 21 US National titles.
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 ...
