    And in 2014, Tomas Rokicki and Morley Davidson proved that the maximum number of quarter-turns needed to solve the cube is 26. [3] The face-turn and quarter-turn metrics differ in the nature of their antipodes. [3] An antipode is a scrambled cube that is maximally far from solved, one that requires the maximum number of moves to solve.

  3. Rubik's Revenge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Revenge

    A solved Rubik's Revenge cube. The Rubik's Revenge (also known as the 4×4×4 Rubik's Cube) is a 4×4×4 version of the Rubik's Cube.It was released in 1981. Invented by Péter Sebestény, the cube was nearly called the Sebestény Cube until a somewhat last-minute decision changed the puzzle's name to attract fans of the original Rubik's Cube. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube_group

    The manipulations of the Rubik's Cube form the Rubik's Cube group. The Rubik's Cube group (,) represents the structure of the Rubik's Cube mechanical puzzle.Each element of the set corresponds to a cube move, which is the effect of any sequence of rotations of the cube's faces.

    A less frequently used strategy is to solve one side and one layer first, then the 2nd, 3rd and 4th layer, and finally the last side and layer. This method is referred to as Layer-by-Layer. This resembles CFOP, a well known technique used for the 3x3 Rubik's Cube , with 2 added layers and a couple of centers.

    Layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition is a thin film fabrication technique. The films are formed by depositing alternating layers of complementary materials with wash steps in between. This can be accomplished by using various techniques such as immersion, spin, spray, electromagnetism, or fluidics. [1]

  7. 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.

  8. Speedcubing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedcubing

    The CFOP method is used by the majority of cubers and employs a layer-by-layer system with numerous algorithms for solving the final layer. The method starts by creating a cross on any side of the cube, followed by F2L where 4 corner edge pairs are inserted into the cross, followed by OLL (Orientation of the Last Layer) where the top side is ...

    Pyraminx in its solved state. The Pyraminx (/ ˈ p ɪ r ə m ɪ ŋ k s /) is a regular tetrahedron puzzle in the style of Rubik's Cube.It was made and patented by Uwe Mèffert after the original 3 layered Rubik's Cube by Ernő Rubik, and introduced by Tomy Toys of Japan (then the 3rd largest toy company in the world) in 1981.
