  2. n-dimensional sequential move puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-dimensional_sequential...

    for the 4-cube is rotations of a 3-polytope (cube) in 3-space = 6×4 = 24, for the 3-cube is rotations of a 2-polytope (square) in 2-space = 4; for the 2-cube is rotations of a 1-polytope in 1-space = 1; In other words, the 2D puzzle cannot be scrambled at all if the same restrictions are placed on the moves as for the real 3D puzzle.

  3. Combination puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_puzzle

    Solutions to this cube is similar to a regular 3x3x3 except that odd-parity combinations are possible with this puzzle. This cube uses a special mechanism due to absence of a central core. Commercial name: Crazy cube type I Crazy cube type II Cube: 4x4x4. The inner circles of a Crazy cube 4x4x4 move with the second layer of each face.

  4. Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(mathematics)

    Matrices are subject to standard operations such as addition and multiplication. [2] Most commonly, a matrix over a field F is a rectangular array of elements of F. [3] [4] A real matrix and a complex matrix are matrices whose entries are respectively real numbers or complex numbers. More general types of entries are discussed below. For ...

  5. Hoffman's packing puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffman's_packing_puzzle

    Each valid solution to the puzzle arranges the blocks in an approximate 3 × 3 × 3 grid of blocks, with the sides of the blocks all parallel to the sides of the outer cube, and with one block of each width along each axis-parallel line of three blocks. Counting reflections and rotations as being the same solution as each other, the puzzle has ...

    Many Sudokus have been found with 17 clues, although finding them is not a trivial task. [2] [3] A 2014 paper by Gary McGuire, Bastian Tugemann, and Gilles Civario proved that the minimum number of clues in any proper Sudoku is 17 through an exhaustive computer search based on hitting set enumeration.

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

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

    A randomly scrambled Rubik's Cube will most likely be optimally solvable in 18 moves (~ 67.0%), 17 moves (~ 26.7%), 19 moves (~ 3.4%) or 16 moves (~ 2.6%) in HTM. [4] By the same token, it is estimated that there is only 1 configuration which needs 20 moves to be solved optimally in almost 90×10 9, or 90 billion, random scrambles. The exact ...

  8. Matrix multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_multiplication...

    The definition of matrix multiplication is that if C = AB for an n × m matrix A and an m × p matrix B, then C is an n × p matrix with entries = =. From this, a simple algorithm can be constructed which loops over the indices i from 1 through n and j from 1 through p, computing the above using a nested loop:

  9. Solution set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_set

    In mathematics, the solution set of a system of equations or inequality is the set of all its solutions, that is the values that satisfy all equations and inequalities. [1] Also, the solution set or the truth set of a statement or a predicate is the set of all values that satisfy it. If there is no solution, the solution set is the empty set. [2]
