Rubik's Cubes

The most mixed up rubiks cube can be solved in 27 moves. There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible mixed-up arrangements.

Each 20-move solution is unique to the cube's scrambled position, because it is the most efficient way of solving it. This contrasts with algorithms that speed-solvers use, which can be very move-intensive.

Unless you are a supercomputer, I doubt you could find a universal 20-move solving algorithm. By universal, I mean that works for EVERY combination of starting positions.

Hint: There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 combinations.

1980

The cube was invented in 1974, although it was first sold as a puzzle in 1977.

There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 legal combinations.

there are actually six, the original 3x3 cube, the 30th anniversary wood cube, the ice cube(clear 2x2 cube), the plain 2x2 cube, the 4x4 cube, and last but not least the 5x5 cube.

Yup! Because there are no fixed centers, there is a possibility that the edges or corners have reached parity.

20 moves is the maximum number of moves needed to solve a Rubik's Cube. However, those moves are not the same for each scramble, so you actually have to learn how to solve the cube.

There are many ways to solve a Rubik's cube. This is the way I use, the one with algorithms. Here are all the bits of the algorithms. R- turn cube's right column up/L- turn left column down/U- turn top row left/ D- turn bottom row left/F- turn front side clockwise/ B- turn back side counterclockwise (Any thing with an 'i' next to it is inverted or turned the opposite way.) Another thing to know is what the #'s 123456789 mean. When I use it, that tells what piece is being switched with each other. 1- top left corner/2- top edge/3- top right corner/4- middle left edge/ 5- middle/6- middle right edge/7- bottom left corner/8- bottom edge/ 9- bottom right corner The first thing to do is solve the bottom side. I don't use algoritms for that because it is the easiest dang thing ever. When you are doing this, make sure to have the right pieces solved. For example, the blue side has been solved and around the sides touching the blue, they are lined up blue/red/yellow corner piece next to blue/red edge piece next to blue/red/white corner piece. Turn the bottom side so the sides match up to their middle pieces. Secondly, you need to turn the top so that it has a 2 need ing to be moved down to a 4 or a 6. To move the 2 to a 4 do the algorithm: Ui, Li, U, L, U, F, Ui, Fi. To move the 2 to a 6 do the algorithm: U, R, Ui, Ri, Ui, Fi, U, F. Continue this step till all sides have 456789 solved correctly. To get the top cross you need to have that color set up on top with either 456, 5, or 245. On that setup do: F, U, R, Ui, Ri, Fi. Having it in 5 will put it into 456. Having 456 will put it into 245. Having 245 will put it in the cross. The next step is much harder to explain. You are trying to get the top colors on the top, so to say. The algorithm is: R, U, Ri, U, R, U, U, Ri. You need to do that algorithm till either you get it done or it is in 245678. Once it is in 245678 do the algorithm and then flip to the side that has it set up like this again. Do the algorithm again and it should have all the pieces on it. If you did the step before, sometimes it will set the side up so it has two of the corners set up. To switch any wrong corners, turn the top so that any right corners are matched to their sides in the back. Do the algorithm: Ri, F, Ri, B, B, R, Fi, Ri, B, B, R, R. Sometimes this algorithm will solve the cube. To move the edges clockwise or counterclockwise, turn the top til a side is solved (if possible). For clockwise: F, F, U, L, Ri, F, F, Li, R, U, F, F. For counterclockwise: F, F, Ui, L, Ri, F, F, Li, R, U, F, F. Your Rubik's should be solved right now. Happy trails.

there are many, and the algorithms used vary depending on the setup of the cube, but really there are several steps that are followed to solve it, however, writing out all the algorithms is nnot worth it and i recommend watching an instructional video on youtube

I do- Rw2 B2 U2 Lw U2 Rw' U2 RW U2 F2 Rw F2 Lw' B2 Rw2

Due to their varying melting points (ice 32 and sugar 366°)

It means back.

----

b means back 2 layers (Back and center)

B means the back 1 layer.

If I am understanding your question correctly then you take the cube and you turn the left side of the cube away from you , take the top and turn it to your left keep repeating these steps until the cube is solved!:D

You have to solve a white cross first :) :)

It will be better quality then the fakes

For nearly everyone, nearly indistinguishable from how it is now.

6x6x6 rubik's cubes have been released just not by the Rubik's company. You can get them at:

DealExtreme.com (type in puzzle cube)

V-cube.com (go to V-CUBE Store, six colored cubes, six layers)

yes, for corner parity just do: U* L* U2 l2 U2 L* U*

== == To get the first layer started solve the four edge pieces, just pick a side. Pick four edge pieces that match the middle color so when you solve it, it looks like a plus sign +. The trick is to have the sides of those edge pieces match the colors on the side. There is a good video on youtube if you type in how to solve a rubik's cube. Use the guide that comes with it, it might seem confusing but it is actually pretty easy once you figure it out. I can do one in a little over 2 minutes, which really isn't that fast compared to some people. It is kind of hard to describe such a process in words only.

Lots of people have a friend teach them or watch a youtube video.

a certain part of the cube.there are three layers on a rubik's cube. the first layer is one side; the second layer is the middle edges; the third is the rest of the cube.

There is only one edge piece on 3x3x3s.

Simply shave off the peg-like parts of the center pieces using a dremel, sand paper, or anything else with a rough surface.

if you are talking about one color surrounded by another color, like a flower. start with a solved cube. then turn the layer that's in between the top and bottom layers to the left. then turn the layer that's in between the right side and the left down. then do the reverse for both: turn the first layer back to the right. and turn the side that you turned down (wich is the on between the right and left) back up repeat this and eventually, you will get a flower on each side. if yu have any questions. email me someboy535@gmail

good luck!
