Solving Rubik’s Cubes is a learnable skill. However, to compete at the top level, you’ll have to train hard. Speed cubers can solve a 3×3 cube in under ten seconds these days, after all. [aaedmusa] ...

SUNNYVALE — Solving a Rubik’s Cube puzzle is relatively simple, insists Nathaniel Knopf. Anyone can do it with practice. “It’s really about recognizing patterns,” said Knopf, 17, a junior at Tamalpais ...

The robot completed the puzzle in just 45.3 seconds, breaking its own record of 55 seconds made just moments earlier.

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: ...

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, ...

The red numbers on the digital clock speed by, fingers move with a rhythmic and automatic precision, and the blocks of color click into place. That’s the scene at Stanford University’s Dinkelspiel ...

Few things reveal the limits of someone's problem-solving skills faster than a Rubik's cube, the multi-colored, three-dimensional puzzle that has befuddled so many since the 1970s. Though the cube has ...
