  2. Optimal solutions for the Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_solutions_for_the...

    It means that the length of an optimal solution in HTM ≤ the length of an optimal solution in QTM. The maximal number of face turns needed to solve any instance of the Rubik's Cube is 20, [2] and the maximal number of quarter turns is 26. [3] These numbers are also the diameters of the corresponding Cayley graphs of the Rubik's Cube group. In ...

    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.

  4. CFOP method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFOP_method

    Most CFOP tutorials instead recommend solving the cross on the bottom side to avoid cube rotations and to get an overall better view of the important pieces needed for the next step (F2L). If the solver is particularly advanced, they can skip separately solving the first F2L pair after the cross by solving an X-cross (solving the cross and the ...

  5. God's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God's_algorithm

    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.

  6. Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube

    The most move optimal online Rubik's Cube solver programs use Herbert Kociemba's two-phase algorithm which can typically determine a solution of 20 moves or fewer. The user has to set the colour configuration of the scrambled cube, and the program returns the steps required to solve it. [81]

  7. Pyramorphix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramorphix

    At first glance, the Pyramorphix appears to be a trivial puzzle. It resembles the Pyraminx, and its appearance would suggest that only the four corners could be rotated. In fact, the puzzle is a specially shaped 2×2×2 cube. Four of the cube's corners are reshaped into pyramids and the other four are reshaped into triangles.

    3x3x3-7. Solutions to this cube is similar to a regular 3x3x3 except that odd-parity combinations are possible with this puzzle. This cube uses a special mechanism due to absence of a central core. Commercial name: Crazy cube type I Crazy cube type II Cube: 4x4x4. The inner circles of a Crazy cube 4x4x4 move with the second layer of each face.
