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. The 3×2×1 block is usually placed in the lower portion of the ...
The Roux method was invented by French speedcuber Gilles Roux. The first step of the Roux method is to form a 3×2×1 block, usually placed in the lower portion of the left layer. The second step is creating another 3×2×1 on the opposite side, so each block shares a bottom color. The creation of these blocks is commonly known as "block ...
The 1982 World Rubik's Cube Championship was a competition for speedsolving the 3×3×3 Rubik's Cube.. It was held in Budapest, Hungary, on 5 June 1982. [1] Contestants selected from 19 countries took part. [1]
A solution is optimal if the sequence of moves is as short as possible. The highest value of this, among all initial configurations, is known as God's number, [3] or, more formally, the minimax value. [4] God's algorithm, then, for a given puzzle, is an algorithm that solves the puzzle and produces only optimal solutions.
The method he used is called IDA* and is described in his paper "Finding Optimal Solutions to Rubik's Cube Using Pattern Databases". [19] Korf describes this method as follows IDA* is a depth-first search that looks for increasingly longer solutions in a series of iterations, using a lower-bound heuristic to prune branches once a lower bound on ...
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.
Feliks Aleksanders Zemdegs [1] (/ ˈ f ɛ l ɪ k s ˈ z ɛ m d ɛ ɡ z /, Latvian: Fēlikss Zemdegs; born 20 December 1995) is an Australian Rubik's Cube speedsolver.He is one of only two speedcubers ever to win the World Cube Association World Championship twice (the other being Max Park), winning in 2013 and 2015, and is widely considered the most successful and greatest speedcuber of all time.
