The following are the current official speedcubing world records approved by the WCA. [4] Note: For averages of 5 solves, the best time and the worst time are dropped, and the mean of the remaining 3 solves is taken. For events where only 3 solves are done, the mean of all 3 is taken.
In a nutshell, Feather's algorithm goes like this: any 3-color solutions that arise from the nodes being generated are then looked up in the array containing distances from intermediate 3-color solutions to the final 6-color solution (a total of 3,981,312 configurations), and if it is 8 moves or less (of which there are 117,265 configurations ...
In 3×3×3 blindfolded and 3×3×3 fewest moves challenges, either a straight mean of 3 or the best of 3 is used, while 4×4×4 blindfolded, 5×5×5 blindfolded, and multiple blindfolded challenges are ranked using the best of 1, 2 or 3, depending on the competition. When a round begins, competitors turn in the puzzle they will use.
Rules for the standard size 3 Rubik's cube [3] [4] and for the complete Rubik's cube family [5] have been documented. Those rules limit what arrangements are possible and mean that, of the possible unrestricted cubie arrangements, the number that are unreachable far outnumber those that are reachable.
Despite holding the 6x6 world record average that he set at 2011 US Nationals, Hays placed last in the finals, with a result of DNF (Did Not Finish). He placed 2nd in the 7x7 event with an average time of 3:46.99. [8] At the US Nationals 2012, Hays won the 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7 events, and placed 3rd in the 3×3 event. Hays claimed the US ...
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.
The following are the official speedcubing world records approved by the WCA as of 8 February 2025. [39] Note: For averages of 5 solves, the best time and the worst time are dropped, and the mean of the remaining 3 solves is taken. For events where only 3 solves are done, the mean of all 3 is taken.
Vincent Sheu has been an active speedcuber since 2006. [8] He typically uses the CFOP method, a layer-by-layer system popularized by Jessica Fridrich in 1997. [9] In 2011, Sheu tied the existing world record for a 2x2x2 single solve with a time of 0.96 seconds at the Berkeley Winter Cube Competition. [10]
