The Rubik’s Cube has only six faces, each presenting only nine cubelets, but the end result is to offer a mind-boggling number of permutations, only one of which embodies the desired solution. The ...

A team of researchers, including a Google engineer, has produced a proof that shows that no initial Rubik's Cube position needs over 20 moves to solve. Prior to this, researchers had narrowed down the ...

For nearly 30 years, mathematicians have been puzzling over the question: What's the lowest number of moves needed to solve a Rubik's Cube? An international team says it has finally found the answer.

Any Rubik’s Cube configuration can be solved in 20 moves or fewer, according to new research. The recent puzzle-based findings come from a small group of researchers, including a university ...

Using 35 years of Google-donated CPU time, a team of researchers found that every possible configuration of the Rubik’s Cube can be solved in 20 moves or less. Personally, I’ve almost got all the ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

The program, called Mistr Kostky, was developed by Martin Španěl as part of his bachelor’s thesis project at the Charles University in Prague. Španěl intends to release the app in the future, saying ...

The Rubik’s Cube has been around for decades. I’ve toyed with the cube, probably in the very late ‘80s or early ‘90s, but never imagined being able to solve one. But wouldn’t it be satisfying if I ...

Remember those colorful, palm-sized cubes from the early ’80s? Thanks to its appearance in Will Smith’s latest movie, “The Pursuit of Happyness,” the Rubik’s Cube is ripe for a resurgence. In the film ...
