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

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

    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 cubes are generated that are the result of applying 1 move to them. That is C * F, C * U, …

    Mathematics, problem solving. Publication date. 1945. ISBN. 9780691164076. How to Solve It (1945) is a small volume by mathematician George Pólya, describing methods of problem solving. [1] This book has remained in print continually since 1945.

  4. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    Here the function is and therefore the three real roots are 2, -1 and -4. In algebra, a cubic equation in one variable is an equation of the form in which a is not zero. The solutions of this equation are called roots of the cubic function defined by the left-hand side of the equation. If all of the coefficients a, b, c, and d of the cubic ...

    Equation solving. The quadratic formula, the symbolic solution of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated ...

  6. Missionaries and cannibals problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionaries_and_cannibals...

    To fully solve the problem, a simple tree is formed with the initial state as the root. The five possible actions ( 1,0,1 , 2,0,1 , 0,1,1 , 0,2,1 , and 1,1,1 ) are then subtracted from the initial state, with the result forming children nodes of the root. Any node that has more cannibals than missionaries on either bank is in an invalid state ...

    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 ...

    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 ...
