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 ...

We’ve all surely been baffled by the Rubik’s Cube at some point in our lives, left frustrated at a failure to complete it. But hard as it might seem to believe, solving one of the world’s most famous ...

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, ...

Solving a Rubik's cube is maybe one of the most mind-boggling ways to distract your mind, but actor Joel Courtney swears by it as a way to free your mind — all it takes is time, patience, and a little ...

In 2010, a group of mathematicians used a bank of supercomputers at Google to show any Rubik's Cube could be solved in 20 moves.

You should be able to complete this step just by playing around with the cube. Make sure that the edges of the cross match the center squares on the adjacent sides. Step 2: Finish First Layer Step 3: ...

NEW YORK — If you’ve ever had trouble solving a Rubik’s Cube, a good piece of advice is to break it down into steps. It’s worth a shot: That advice is from the man who invented it. “Problem solving is ...

Solving a Rubik’s Cube with two hands is hard for most people. Solving a Rubik’s Cube with one hand is even harder. Harder still: Designing a lone robot hand capable of solving a Rubik’s Cube all by ...
