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.
For most events, an average of five is taken, but for 6×6×6, 7×7×7, 3×3×3 blindfolded, 3×3×3 fewest moves, 4×4×4 blindfolded and 5×5×5 blindfolded, an average of three is taken. For averages of five solves, the best time and the worst time are dropped, and the mean of the remaining three solves is taken.
While the method stands alone as an efficient system for solving the Rubik's Cube, many modifications have been made over the years to stay on the cutting edge of competitive speedcubing. Many more algorithms have been added to shave seconds off the solution time, and steps 5+6 or 6+7 are often combined depending on the problems each case presents.
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 ...
A speedcubing competition. 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.

Cube mid-solve on the OLL step. The CFOP method (Cross – F2L (first 2 layers) – OLL (orientate last layer) – PLL (permutate last layer)), 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.
