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 ...

Solving Rubik’s Cubes is a learnable skill. However, to compete at the top level, you’ll have to train hard. Speed cubers can solve a 3×3 cube in under ten seconds these days, after all. [aaedmusa] ...

A machine has taught itself to solve a Rubik’s Cube without human assistance, according to a group of UC Irvine researchers. Two algorithms developed by the researchers, collectively called Deep Cube, ...

For those who want to prove themselves to be the fastest at solving a Rubik's Cube, or even just for those wanting to learn or be told how to get their cube in order, it's hard to look elsewhere than ...

If you’ve ever dabbled with a Rubik’s Cube, you know it isn’t the easiest puzzle to crack. Despite the challenging nature of the game, it’s endured longer than most other toys of its generation—think ...
