  2. 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).

    The cube restricted to only 6 edges, not looking at the corners nor at the other edges. The cube restricted to the other 6 edges. Clearly the number of moves required to solve any of these subproblems is a lower bound for the number of moves needed to solve the entire cube. Given a random cube C, it is solved as iterative deepening. First all ...

    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.

    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 solved in 1 of 57 algorithms, and finally PLL (Permutation of the Last Layer) where you do 1 of 21 algorithms to solve the rest of the cube.

  7. Gilles Roux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Roux

    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 ...
