The most common subset uses the T-perm and Y-perm to solve corners, then the U-perm (in clockwise and counter-clockwise variants), H-perm and Z-perm for edges. However, as corners are solved first in two-look, the relative position of edges is unimportant, and so algorithms that permute both corners and edges can be used to solve corners.
Regardless of color variant, the most common solution strategy shares qualities with common methods for solving a Rubik's Cube. The solution begins with one face (most often white), where the solver will reconstruct the "star" formed by the edge pieces adjacent to that face, each one properly paired with the neighboring center color (analogous to the "white cross" of the beginner and CFOP ...
Jessica Fridrich (born Jiří Fridrich) is a professor at Binghamton University, who specializes in data hiding applications in digital imagery.She is also known for documenting and popularizing the CFOP method (sometimes referred to as the "Fridrich method"), one of the most commonly used methods for speedsolving the Rubik's Cube, also known as speedcubing.

This puzzle is not really a true 2-dimensional analogue of the Rubik's Cube. If the group of operations on a single polytope of an n-dimensional puzzle is defined as any rotation of an (n – 1)-dimensional polytope in (n – 1)-dimensional space then the size of the group, for the 5-cube is rotations of a 4-polytope in 4-space = 8×6×4 = 192,
The Rubik's Cube is constructed by labeling each of the 48 non-center facets with the integers 1 to 48. Each configuration of the cube can be represented as a permutation of the labels 1 to 48, depending on the position of each facet. Using this representation, the solved cube is the identity permutation which leaves the cube unchanged, while ...
The current record-holder for a standard 3x3x3 cube is 22-year-old Korean American Max Park, who solved the Rubik’s Cube in 3.13 seconds at a competition in Long Beach, California last year ...
A Rubik's Cube is in the superflip pattern when each corner piece is in the correct position, but each edge piece is incorrectly oriented. [6] In 1992, a solution for the superflip with 20 face turns was found by Dik T. Winter , of which the minimality was shown in 1995 by Michael Reid , providing a new lower bound for the diameter of the cube ...
A Tuttminx (/ ˈ t ʊ t m ɪ ŋ k s / or / ˈ t ʌ t m ɪ ŋ k s /) is a Rubik's Cube-like twisty puzzle, in the shape of a truncated icosahedron. It was invented by Lee Tutt in 2005. [1] It has a total of 150 movable pieces to rearrange, compared to 20 movable pieces of the Rubik's Cube.
