  2. Skewb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewb

    The Skewb (/ ˈ s k juː b /) is a combination puzzle and a mechanical puzzle similar to the Rubik's Cube. It was invented by Tony Durham and marketed by Uwe Mèffert . [ 1 ] Although it is cubical, it differs from the typical cubes ' construction; its axes of rotation pass through the corners of the cube, rather than the centers of the faces.

    The CFOP method can be used as a less advanced method by dividing the steps into more steps, reducing the number of algorithms that need to be learned but sacrificing time. It is usually known as the beginner method or layer by layer (LBL). Most people start learning CFOP with 4LLL (Four-Look Last Layer), which is the less advanced, slower, and ...

    Given the method requires an average of 100 moves for a solve (IBID p.54), this would be fairly reasonable for the time. However as better methods (i.e. more complex but faster), and better cubes have become available — in 2023 this would have to be revised: 60 seconds - whiz; 40 seconds - speed demon; 15-25 seconds - expert

  5. Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube

    Most beginner solution methods involve solving the cube one layer at a time ("layer-by-layer" method or "beginner's method"), using algorithms that preserve what has already been solved. The easiest layer by layer methods require only 3–8 algorithms.

  6. God's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God's_algorithm

    For example, using a giant lookup table indexed by initial configurations would allow solutions to be found very quickly, but would require an extraordinary amount of memory. [ 5 ] Instead of asking for a full solution, one can equivalently ask for a single move from an initial but not final configuration, where the move is the first of some ...

  7. CFOP method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFOP_method

    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.

  9. Helicopter Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_Cube

    At first glance, the Helicopter Cube may seem like a combination of the 2x2x2 and the Skewb, but it actually cuts differently, and twists around cube edges rather than cube faces. The purpose of the puzzle is to scramble the colors, and then restore them back to their original state of a single color per face.
