Paris Rubik's Cube World Championship to Be Biggest Ever Paris Rubik’s Cube World Championship to be Biggest Ever Submitted by: Rubik’s Cube Wednesday, 14 June 2017 The Rubik’s Cube World Championship (http://www.rubiksworldparis2017.com/en/home/), which sees competitors battle to solve the iconic cube (https://www.rubiks.com/) as quickly as possible, is being staged in France for the first time from Thursday 13 to Sunday 16 July 2017 and will see a record number of ‘speedcubers’ in action. Australian Feliks Zemdegs will defend the world title for the Rubik’s Cube, which he has held since winning in 2013 with an average solve time of 8.18 seconds and defended in 2015 with an average solve time of 7.56 seconds. Although the championship is traditionally aimed at individual competitors, this year the inaugural Nations Cup will see teams of three from 45 countries go head-to-head for the first time. Due to the excitement around the new Nations Cup format, it is anticipated that Ern Rubik, the legendary Hungarian creator of the iconic Rubik’s Cube, will be in attendance at the event. A professor of architecture from Budapest, he created the cube in 1974 to encourage his students to think about spatial relationships. Since its international launch in 1980, an estimated 450 million Rubik’s Cubes have been sold, making it the world’s most popular toy. The Rubik’s Cube World Championship will take place at Les Docks de Paris, France, and will welcome 1,100 competitors from 69 countries, competing in eighteen individual competition classes, including blindfolded solving, solving with feet and tackling different puzzles. The first championship took place in 1982. Australian Feliks Zemdegs holds the world record for the fastest solve of the Rubik’s Cube in an eye-watering 4.73 seconds in Melbourne in December 2016, although the Netherlands’ Mats Valk is fractionally behind with a best solve of 4.74 seconds in Indonesia in November 2016. However, the competition’s rules mean that entrants solve the Rubik’s Cube five times. The fastest and slowest attempts are removed and an average time is taken so the competitor with the fastest single solve does not always win. Again, Feliks Zemdegs held the world record for the best average solve time of 6.45 until April this year, when Max Park of the USA set an average solve time of 6.39 seconds. With just eight tenths of a second between the world’s top ten speedcubers – all of whom will be in action in Paris – the Rubik’s Cube title promises to be hotly contested. Below is a list of the world’s top ten speedcubers and their best average solve times: 1Max ParkUSA6.39 2Feliks ZemdegsAustralia6.45 3Sebastian WeyerGermany6.81 Page 1 4Mats ValkNetherlands6.83 5Seung Hyuk NahmKorea6.86 6Lucas EtterUSA6.89 7Philipp WeyerGermany7.10 7Bill WangCanada7.10 9Patrick PonceUSA7.11 10Micha PleskowiczPoland7.13 There are 18 individual events at the 2017 Rubik’s Cube World Championship, including: •2x2 Rubik’s Cube •3x3 Rubik’s Cube •4x4 Rubik’s Cube •5x5 Rubik’s Cube •One-handed 3x3 Rubik’s Cube •Blindfolded 3x3 Rubik’s Cube •3x3 Rubik’s Cube (fewest moves) •3x3 Rubik’s Cube with feet •Rubik’s Clock •4x4 Rubik’s Cube blindfolded •5x5 Rubik’s Cube blindfolded •3x3 Rubik’s Cube multiple blindfolded Chrisi Trussell of London-based Rubik’s Brand Ltd, which licences the Rubik’s Cube to distributors around the world, said, “The Rubik’s Cube World Championship in Paris is set to be by far the biggest speedcubing competition the world has seen, with over twice as many competitors as the previous World Championship. “Because of the competitive nature of the field, there is bound to be an incredible sense of tension. Feliks Zemdegs is difficult to beat but it’s amazing to see so many keen cubers in action from all corners of the globe. Ultimately, this is a social event and it’s always energising to see the support competitors give each other. “The introduction of the new Nations Cup, which allows countries to compete against each other, adds a layer of intrigue to the championship.” To find out more about Rubik’s Cube, visit the website at https://www.rubiks.com/, Twitter feed @RubiksOnline (https://twitter.com/rubiksonline) or official Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Rubiksonline).

  • Benchmarking Beginner Algorithms for Rubik's Cube
    DEGREE PROJECT, IN COMPUTER SCIENCE , FIRST LEVEL STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2015 Benchmarking Beginner Algorithms for Rubik's cube ANDREAS NILSSON, ANTON SPÅNG KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CSC SCHOOL Supervisor: Michael Schliephake Examiner: Örjan Ekeberg Abstract Over the years different algorithms have been developed to step-by-step solve parts of the Rubik’s cube until fi- nally reaching the unique solution. This thesis explores two commonly known beginner algorithms for solving Rubik’s cube to find how they differ in solving speed and amount of moves. The algorithms were implemented and run on a large amount of scrambled cubes to collect data. The re- sults showed that Layer-by-layer with daisy algorithm had a lower average amount of moves than the Dedmore al- gorithm. The main difference in amount of moves lies in the steps that solve the last layer of the cube. The Layer- by-layer with daisy algorithm uses only one-seventh of the time-consuming operations that Dedmore algorithm uses, which concludes that it is more suitable for speedcubing. Sammanfattning Över åren har ett antal olika algoritmer utvecklats för att steg-för-steg lösa delar av Rubik’s kub för att till sist kom- ma fram till den unika lösningen. Denna rapport utforskar två allmänt kända nybörjaralgoritmer för att lösa Rubik’s kub, för att finna hur dem skiljer sig åt i tid samt antal operationer för att nå lösningen. Algoritmerna implemen- terades och kördes på ett stort antal blandade kuber för att samla data. Resultatet visar att Lager-för-lager med daisy algoritmen hade ett lägre genomsnittligt antal förflyttning- ar jämfört med Dedmore algoritmen.

    Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 5/11/11 6:47 PM Rubik's Cube From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in Rubik's Cube 1974[1] by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube",[2] the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toy Corp. in 1980[3] and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide[4][5] making it the world's top-selling puzzle game.[6][7] It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy.[8] In a classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces is covered by nine stickers, among six solid colours (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow).[9] A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the Other names Magic Cube colours. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a Type Puzzle solid colour. Similar puzzles have now been produced with various numbers of stickers, not all of them by Rubik.

  • Preface Preface Preface
    CubeRoot Preface Preface Preface The Rubiks cube is a Combination puzzle in the shape of a cube that is cut two times along each of three axes. It is invented in 1974 by Ernő Rubik, which is the best-selling toy in history. Since 2003, WCA (World Cube Association), the official ruling and organizing entity for speedsolving Rubiks Cube and other puzzles, has organized competitions worldwide and recognize world records. From around 2007 the cubing community has seen the development of speedcubes made in China like Qiyi, GAN, Moyu, Yuxin. This puzzle consists of 6 faces, each with 9 colored facets. From another aspect, it has 6 fixed centers, 12 edges, 8 corners, and a total of 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 positions. A solved cube has all facets on each face with the same color. The cube move F,, BU , DLR ,, rotates the front, back, upper, down, left, right face 90 degree turn clockwise, respectively. A letter followed by a prime () symbol denotes a 90 degree turn counterclockwise. A letter followed by a 2 denotes a double turn of that face. CFOP method (Cross – F2L – OLL – PLL), the most commonly used speedsolving method for 3x3, heavily relies on algorithms, pattern recognition and muscle memory compared to more intuitive methods such as Roux, ZZ or Petrus method. It was first developed in the early 1980s combining innovations by a number of cubers. Jessica Fridrich popularized it by publishing it online in 1997. Its average number of moves is 56. Gods Number is either used to refer to the diameter of the group of the puzzle (the furthest distance two states can be from each other) or to the furthest distance any position can be from solved.

  • Rubik's Cube Elite Prepare for South America's First World Championship
    Rubik’s Cube elite prepare for South America’s first World Championship Submitted by: Rubik’s Cube Tuesday, 7 July 2015 Brazilians are no strangers to world-class competitions; they hosted the football World Cup in 2014 and are readying themselves for the Olympics in 2016. From Friday July 17 to Sunday July 19 they will host the Rubik’s Cube World Championship (http://www.cuber.com.br/worlds/index.php?location=home), a biannual event that attracts hundreds of the world’s fastest Cubers. It takes place at Colégio Etapa, Rua Vergueiro, Vila Mariana, São Paulo, from 9AM to 6PM on Friday and Saturday and 9AM until 5PM on Sunday. Two years ago in Las Vegas, Australia’s Feliks Zemdegs stunned the competition, solving the Rubik’s Cube with a winning average time of 8.18 seconds, and he will be in attendance at São Paulo, looking to defend his title. Competitors solve the Rubik’s Cube five times. The fastest and slowest attempts are removed and an average time is taken so it’s not always the fastest single solve that wins the competition. The world record for a Single Solve is 5.25 seconds, set by American Collin Burns in April 2015. Chrisi Trussell, from London-based Rubik’s Brand Ltd, said, “The Rubik’s Cube World Championship is a fantastic event which attracts the world’s Speedcubing elite. “The truth is that it’s not just about the competition – it’s a social weekend where participants can meet friends, share tips and watch the fastest Cubers in the world compete.

SAŽETAK Rubikova kocka je jedna od najprodavanijih igračaka u povijesti čovječanstva. Nema čovjeka koji se nije okušao u slaganju same kocke. Rubikova kocka je trodimenzionalna mehanička igračka, koju je 1974. godine izumio mađarski kipar i profesor arhitekture Erno Rubik. Rubik je igračku prvobitno nazvao "Čarobna kocka" i licencirao je 1980. godine, a ona je doživjela nezapamćen uspjeh, prvo u Njemačkoj, gdje je 1980. proglašena igračkom godine, a zatim i širom svijeta. Važnost Rubikove kocke je višestruka, kao igračka važna je najmlađima, ali i starijima. Nadalje prepoznata je i u znanstvenom smislu pa je sve više ljudi proučava i istražuje. Kao pojava popularna je diljem svijeta. Ključne riječi: Rubikova kocka, igračka, metodologija, slaganje ABSTRACT The Rubik's Cube is one of the best-selling toys in human history. There is no man who has not tried his hand at stacking the dice. Rubik's Cube is a three-dimensional mechanical toy, invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally dubbed the "Magic Cube" by the Rubik, it was licensed in 1980, and it was an unprecedented success, first in Germany, where in 1980 it was named Player of the Year and then worldwide.
