Although knowing how to solve it using the very basic method, which is the layer-order-method, I have come across other quicker methods out there, which are used in speed cubing and competitions. <\/p>\n
I for one would be very interested in theoretically finding the best solution rather than creative methods.<\/p>\n
Now for a 3X3X3 original Rubik's cube, its atomic structures can be categorized into 3 groups:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. The Absolute Centers (having only one face\/color)<\/strong><\/p>\n 2. The Relative Centers (having two faces\/colors)<\/strong><\/p>\n 3. The Corners (having the most, three faces\/colors) <\/strong><\/p>\n If there is truly a theoretically fastest method out there, then I haven't really stumble upon one that would have the simplest teaching demonstration. This project is intended for such. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [@more@]<\/p>\n This research begins now(Solving Cube with patterns as faces will need to be addressed later on):<\/p>\n All I know for now, is that the Absolute Centers are fixed. Hence, we can already tell which sides each 6 faces of the Cube should placed respectively.<\/p>\n A good aiding tool is the flash program of the cube located at this site:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.pamlicobiz.com\/games\/cube.htm<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n I would love to find a standalone version. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although knowing how to solve it using the very basic method, which is the layer-order-method, I have come across other quicker methods out there, which are used in speed cubing and competitions.
