Sip Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 This lady is just incredible!!!! Here's her page on speed cubing (Rubik's cube) ... and this is the video page Here system for solving Rubik's cube is also pretty cool! I have personally never been into "cubing" but those videos sure are AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiner Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 So what makes a good cuber besides hand speed? Ability to perceive images in 3D, or calculate formulas, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted October 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Seems to me like they have basically "solved" the problem. She talks about a 17 second algorithm to solve the cube. I didn't read and analyze it carefully but those moves they are doing are much more complicated than just random trial and error ... there is a clear strategy to solve it. Now I don't know too much about the Rubic's cube problem but the feeling I got from her page is that it is probably easy to solve (computationally) since she talks about an average of something like 56 moves being needed.

shiner Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Oh I see, so they are implying there already exists a more or less set way to go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
