    The cube restricted to only the corners, not looking at the edges; 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.

  3. 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 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.

    The Rubik's Cube world champion is 19 years old an can solve it in less than 6 seconds. While you won't get anywhere near his time without some years of practice, solving the cube is really not ...

    Hold the cube so that white is the U center and OC is the F center. Now rotate U so that the white-OC piece is in the UR position. Now apply R' F'. If a white-OC piece is in the middle slice of the cube (the middle third): Hold the cube so that white is still on the U face, but this white-OC piece is in the FR location.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube

    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 ...

    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.

    Regardless of color variant, the most common solution strategy shares qualities with common methods for solving a Rubik's Cube. The solution begins with one face (most often white), where the solver will reconstruct the "star" formed by the edge pieces adjacent to that face, each one properly paired with the neighboring center color (analogous to the "white cross" of the beginner and CFOP ...
