God’s number refers to the smallest number of moves required to solve any Rubik’s cube scramble. This is one of the most important mathematical concepts in cubing as it took people over 30 years to find it after the creation of the Rubik’s cube. Not only does finding this number require a lot of math, but it also requires a lot of algorithmic thinking and optimization, and the process and how this number was found may surprise you.
The most popular method isn’t always the best one. Many puzzles have super advanced methods that not many people know about. Are these hidden methods any good? Well, Some of them are, and some of them aren’t. Keep reading this article to find out.
After learning 2-look OLL and PLL, it’s obvious that full OLL and PLL are the next steps. But what about after that? Winter Variation, Summer Variation, VLS, ZBLS, COLL, and OLLCP are all algorithm sets for last layer. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of any of these before because this article covers which ones you should learn, and which ones you should ignore.
For some, practicing comes naturally, but for others, it can be difficult because of many reasons, like lack of time, or lack of a structured schedule or practice plan. However, don’t worry because this article has great practice guides for cubers with different amounts of time available per day.
Have you ever got a fast time and felt like you were the fastest cuber alive, then remember that the world record is 3.47 seconds. For me, this can be slightly discouraging because the level at which top cubers solve are at feels impossibly far. But to figure out exactly why, I’ve broken down the practice habits, solving techniques, and even some less commonly known tricks that you can use to instantly improve your solves.
Full f2l is a huge algorithm subset that includes algorithms to solve the first two layers (hence the name f2l). However, learning all 41 algorithms can be quite the task and it can be more of a time save to start with just learning the important ones. This article covers the best and most efficient f2l algorithms to learn.
Averaging less than thirty seconds is a huge achievement for any cuber. For some, it takes just a few months, and for some, it can take upwards of a year. Regardless of who you are, this article provides useful tips, and what skills you need to average sub-thirty.
