Rubik's Cubes

That depends on personal preference. Most people, however, find that solving the white side first makes it easier to see.

It is (S/s)3 where S and s are the lengths of the sides of the larger and smaller cubes, respectively.

Emo Rubik a Hungarian professor of architecture and sculptor created the cube to help his students understand 3-d objects.

The Rubik cube was invented by a maths teacher to explain maths sums to his students it bears the teachers name.

It is impossible to reverse just one piece. The least you can do at once is two pieces

This morning I would have given you the exact same answer. Its only rational, or so I thought.

I took my cube today, from a perfectly solved state, scrambled it up, and tried solving it. I ended up with just one edge piece backwards. I dont know how. It makes no sense and I cannot imagine a way to fix it. I stumbled across this Answers.com question/answer when I was researching this "error".

Mats Valk holds the current world record in solving the rubik's cube. He did it in 5.55 seconds. Pretty fast right? I can just give it a look at the cube in that much time. :P

no way he is to stupid and self centered to solve a rubiks cube. im serious i know people. he might be the smarteset kid on earth but there is no way he could solve a rubiks cube!

It is spelled Rubik's Cube.

It is approximately 185 cubic centimeters (cc), has 26 individual cubes, six different colored faces, and has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible combinations.

I don't think it's anything. I put a link to something that might be related in the related links section. There were other hits when I searched for it, but several of them were pretty clearly meaningless new age claptrap.

When you're trying to solve the cross make sure one of the centers are flipped solve it til the Last Step. There is a solve side so the one opposite side should be placed on the flipped center and then use the last move and if there's still a flipped center mix it up ang try again

Currently (DEC 09) there are 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 5x5x5, 6x6x6, 7x7x7, and 9x9x9 mass-produced rubik's cubes.

The 6x6x6, and 7x7x7, are available from either V-Cubes (original inventor) or QJ (Chinese Knock-Off), and they both have future plans to make larger ones. QJ has also built a 9x9x9, bu V-Cubes plans to build everything up to 11x11x11, which is so far the only source to publically announce the coming of the 10x10x10. Puzzle-building masters have made their own 8x8x8 (2 in the world), 9x9x9, 11x11x11 (1 in the world, Tony Fisher), and 12x12x12 (1 in the world, Leslie Lee). However, Gabbasoft Cube simulator allows you to solve virtual cubes up to 20x20x20 in size.

Nope, the cube will remain sticky, if not stickier

Cube utilization-in warehousing and logistics, cube utilization refers to the use of space within storage area, trailer, or container. Cube utilization is generally calculated as a percentage of total space or of total "usable" space

A "budget cube" is about 5$, good ones go from 20-100$. Cyclone Boyz is the best budget cube. Have fun my fellow cubers.

The company Rubik's Cubes makes them, although their original creator was Erno Rubik.

It must be noted that the Rubik's brand cubes are not preferred by speedcubers worldwide. There are many companies that produce speedcubes that are much cheaper than the original Rubic's Cube, yet are of a surprisingly high quality. A few examples of this are Cube4you, Maru, Edison, Da Yan, Sheng En and Diangshen.

There are many sources for tips on how to solve a Bedlam cube puzzle, including YouTube video tutorials, Weebly, Geocaching, Reference, QA Collections, and ehow.

Structurally, it's exactly the same as a 3x3. It caught me off guard at first because there are 7 face slices instead of 9, but it has the same number of "cubies", if you could call them that. Once you get your mind wrapped around which pieces are which in relation to a 3x3, start solving it exactly the same way, cross, corners, f2l, etc. When you get to the F2L, you first have to make sure the corners are in the right rotation before you start solving the f2l (this part is a bit tricky) when you get to the last layer, it starts to get real hairy. To be able to tell if a piece is "facing up" or not, you have to rotate the top face and check each piece against the f2l. if the piece matches up, it is facing up. once you solve the top layer, you shouldn't have any problems if you did the rest of it right. once you get to PLL, two centers might get messed up on the last algorithm. I ran into this on my first solve. I got the cube like 2-3 days ago and have only solved it twice because the centers are always in the wrong rotation. solving a 3x3 with pictures on it helps to grasp this concept.

in short, it's pretty much a 3x3, but it's a real pain to wrap your mind around, and then get the centers right. I almost threw it out the window a couple times.

Writing out the solution for the rubicks cube is very difficult. Check up the videos on youtube that will show you how.

google "ken silverman rubix" and you should find it

The Rubik's Cube was invented to help explain three dimensional geometry. It was originally called the Magic Cube but was changed the the Rubik's Cube in 1980.

It is because each pair of opposite faces adds to seven.
