    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. [5] 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 group.

    The moves from the other steps should become very natural after a short time. There are two basic parts to this step, as follows: The goal of the whole step is to solve all of the 5 remaining edge pieces. The first part is to solve three of these (UF, UL, UB), and the second part is to solve the other two together.

  4. God's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God's_algorithm

    God's algorithm is a notion originating in discussions of ways to solve the Rubik's Cube puzzle, [1] but which can also be applied to other combinatorial puzzles and mathematical games. [2] It refers to any algorithm which produces a solution having the fewest possible moves (i.e., the solver should not require any more than this number).

  5. Rubik's Cube group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube_group

    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 Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube by James G. Nourse is a book that was published in 1981. The book explains how to solve the Rubik's Cube. The book became the best-selling book of 1981, selling 6,680,000 copies that year. It was the fastest-selling title in the 36-year history of Bantam Books.

    Many general solutions for the Cube have been discovered independently. David Singmaster first published his solution in the book Notes on Rubik's "Magic Cube" in 1981. [56] This solution involves solving the Cube layer by layer, in which one layer (designated the top) is solved first, followed by the middle layer, and then the final and bottom ...

    Magic Cube 5D by Roice Nelson is capable of rendering 5-cube puzzles in six sizes from 2 5 to 7 5. Allows 5D twists and controls for rotating the cube in multiple dimensions, 4-D and 5-D perspective controls, cubie and sticker spacing and size controls, similar to Magiccube4D. However, a 5-D puzzle is much more difficult to comprehend than a 4 ...

    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.
