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]
There are many algorithms to solve scrambled Rubik's Cubes. An algorithm that solves a cube in the minimum number of moves is known as God's algorithm. A randomly scrambled Rubik's Cube will most likely be optimally solvable in 18 moves (~ 67.0%), 17 moves (~ 26.7%), 19 moves (~ 3.4%) or 16 moves (~ 2.6%) in HTM. [4]
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.
Jessica Fridrich (born Jiří Fridrich) is a professor at Binghamton University, who specializes in data hiding applications in digital imagery.She is also known for documenting and popularizing the CFOP method (sometimes referred to as the "Fridrich method"), one of the most commonly used methods for speedsolving the Rubik's Cube, also known as speedcubing.

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]
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.
The Master Pyraminx has 4 layers and 16 triangles-per-face (compared to 3 layers and 9 triangles-per-face of the original), and is based on the Skewb Diamond mechanism. This version has about 2.6817 × 10 15 combinations. [6] [7] The Master Pyraminx has 4 "tips" (same as the original Pyraminx) 4 "middle axials" (same as the original Pyraminx)
