Solve Your Rubik's Cube

The cube, as a puzzle and as a textbook for teaching students the basics of mathematical group theory, appeared in 1974 thanks to a Hungarian architect named Erno Rubik. He invented the 3x3x3 mechanical cube, familiar to everyone today. The most difficult thing was to come up with a mechanism that connected 26 cubes that form planes. Interestingly, Rubik collected his creation for the first time for almost a whole month. Originally, the puzzle was called "Magic Cube". Now international competitions are held in various disciplines related to the solving of both a 3x3x3 cube and other puzzles based on it. The world record for solving the Rubik's cube 3x3x3 as of 2020 was 3.47 seconds. Interestingly, the number of all reachable different states of the Rubik's cube 3x3x3 is 43,252,003,274,489,856,000. Taking into account the orientation of the central squares, the number of states increases 2048 times, namely up to 88,580 102 706 155 225,088,000 states! At the same time,

To study successfully, you will need a Rubik's cube with 3 x 3 x 3. For example, as in the photo. It's great if the cube rotates easily enough, without unnecessary grinding and resistance. In this case, you will immediately begin to practice the correct grip of the cube in your hands. It is also better that the cube does not tend to fall apart with the slightest effort. In any case, to successfully master the solving method proposed in this blog, use the Rubik's cube that you have. Read more:  About Beginner's Methods to solve Rubik's Cube About Fridrich method
