  2. CFOP method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFOP_method

    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.

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

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

    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. [9] 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_Petrus

    Petrus invented three simple and flexible algorithms to complete the last three steps, which he named Niklas, Sune, and Allan. 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 ...

    Leyan Andrew Lo (born November 24, 1985) held the world record of 11.13 seconds for the fastest Rubik's Cube solve until Toby Mao in 2006 had a solve of 10.48 at the U.S. nationals competition in San Francisco. Leyan appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where he solved a Rubik's Cube in 18.9 seconds. He also holds the former world record ...

  9. Gilles Roux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Roux

    Over a span of years, Gilles Roux developed his own method to solve the 3x3x3 cube. Using a smaller quantity of memorized algorithms than most methods of solving, Roux still found his method to be fast and efficient. The first step of the Roux method is to form a 3×2×1 block.
