Since its invention in the 1970s, there have only been a few things that have revealed the limits of problem solving skills in humans faster than a Rubik’s Cube. The 3D multicoloured, logic puzzle has ...

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm which can solve a Rubik's Cube in a fraction of a second, according to a study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. The system, known as ...

The C routine in Listing 1 generates the cube root of either a positive or a negative number. The number can range from a small fraction to greater than 1 billion. Note that this idea is irrelevant ...

Some of the fastest Rubik’s cube solvers in the world have gotten down to a five second solve — which is quite an incredible feat for a human — but how about one second? Well, [Jay Flatland] and [Paul ...

Using 35 years of computer processing time donated by Google, a team of researchers has now been able to calculate the minimum number of moves it should take to solve the Rubik’s Cube. Back in 1981, ...
