Blind Rubik's Cube Solving (Blind)

Rubik's Cube and Multiblind

This guy blindly solved 48 Rubik's Cubes in a row. How long did it take him to do this? 59 minutes and 48 seconds. That is, for each cube, he spent about one minute and a couple of seconds. I think this guy is the embodiment of the all-seeing god Shiva, who has two pairs of hands.

Speedcubing is hard work. But if problem solving and manual dexterity have become routine for you, then these disciplines will add variety. According to materials:

Designations of sides and language of rotations in Russian letters

First of all, let's agree on a notation system. The faces of a cube are denoted by letters F, T, R, L, V, N- in the initial letters of the words facade, rear, right, left, top, bottom. Which face of the cube is considered to be the front face - blue, green, etc. - depends on you and on the resulting situation. During the assembly process, you will have to take for the front one or another face, convenient for this case, several times. The central cubes determine the color of the face, that is, we can say that even in a completely mixed up cube, the central cubes have already been matched and it remains to attach 8 cubes of the same color to each of them. The central cubes are designated by one letter: f, t, p, l, v, n.

Edge cubes (there are 12 of them) belong to two faces and are denoted by two letters, for example fp, pv, fn etc.

Corner cubes - in three letters according to the name of the faces, for example, fpv, fln etc.

capital letters F, T, R, L, V, N the elementary operations of rotating the corresponding face (layer, slice) of the cube by 90° clockwise are denoted. Notation F", T", P", L", V", N" correspond to a 90° counterclockwise rotation of the faces. Notation F 2, P 2 etc. speak of a double rotation of the corresponding face ( F 2 = FF).

letter FROM denote the rotation of the middle layer. The subscript shows which side of the face to look at to make that turn. For example S P- on the right side C N- from the bottom side, S" L- from the left side, counterclockwise, etc. It is clear that C H \u003d C "B, S P \u003d S "L etc. Letter O- rotation (revolution) of the entire cube around its axis. O F- from the side of the facade face clockwise, etc.

Process recording (F "P") N 2 (PF) means: rotate the facade face counterclockwise by 90°, the same - the right face, rotate the bottom face twice (i.e. by 180°), rotate the right face 90° clockwise, rotate the facade face 90° clockwise.

Along with the literal notation of processes, a matrix notation is also used, where elementary operations are depicted by a drawing of a facade face with corresponding arrows indicating the directions of rotation of the corresponding face.

The layered algorithm for assembling the Rubik's Cube is far from the only one. There are other ways, about which - on other pages of this section.

The human intellect needs constant training no less than the body needs physical activity. The best way to develop, expand the abilities of this quality of the psyche is to solve crossword puzzles and solve puzzles, the most famous of which, of course, is the Rubik's Cube. However, not everyone manages to collect it. Knowledge of the schemes and formulas for solving the assembly of this intricate toy will help to cope with this task.

What is a puzzle toy

Mechanical cube made of plastic, the outer faces of which consist of small cubes. The size of the toy is determined by the number of small elements:

• 2 x 2;
• 3 x 3 (the original version of the Rubik's Cube was exactly 3 x 3);
• 4 x 4;
• 5 x 5;
• 6 x 6;
• 7 x 7;
• 8 x 8;
• 9 x 9;
• 10 x 10;
• 11 x 11;
• 13 x 13;
• 17 x 17.

Any of the small cubes can rotate in three directions along the axes, represented as protrusions of a fragment of one of the three cylinders of the large cube. So the design has the ability to rotate freely, but at the same time, small parts do not fall out, but hold on to each other.

Each side of the toy includes 9 elements, painted in one of six colors, opposite each other in pairs. The classic combination of shades is:

• red opposite orange;
• white opposite yellow;
• blue opposite green.

However, modern versions may be colored in other combinations.

Today you can find Rubik's cubes of different colors and shapes.

It is interesting. The Rubik's Cube even exists in a version for the blind. There, instead of color squares, there is a relief surface.

The goal of assembling the puzzle is to arrange the small squares so that they form the face of a large cube of the same color.

History of appearance

The idea of ​​​​creation belongs to the Hungarian architect Erne Rubik, who, in fact, did not create a toy, but a visual aid for his students. In such an interesting way, the resourceful teacher planned to explain the theory of mathematical groups (algebraic structures). It happened in 1974, and a year later the invention was patented as a puzzle toy - future architects (and not only them) got so attached to the intricate and bright manual.

The release of the first series of the puzzle was timed to coincide with the new year 1978, but the toy entered the world thanks to the entrepreneurs Tibor Lakzi and Tom Kremer.

It is interesting. Since the appearance of the Rubik's Cube ("magic cube", "magic cube"), about 350 million copies have been sold worldwide, which puts the puzzle in first place in popularity among toys. Not to mention dozens of computer games based on this assembly principle.

The Rubik's Cube is an iconic toy for many generations

In the 80s, the inhabitants of the USSR met the Rubik's Cube, and in 1982 in Hungary the first world championship in assembling a speed puzzle was organized - speed cubing. Then the best result was 22.95 seconds (for comparison: in 2017 a new world record was set: 4.69 seconds).

It is interesting. Fans of assembling a multi-colored puzzle are so attached to the toy that they find it not enough for them to assemble for speed alone. Therefore, in recent years, championships have appeared in solving puzzles with closed eyes, one hand, and legs.

What are the formulas for the Rubik's Cube

Collecting a magic cube means arranging all the small details so that you get a whole face of the same color, you need to use God's algorithm. This term refers to a set of minimum actions that will solve a puzzle that has a finite number of moves and combinations.

It is interesting. In addition to the Rubik's Cube, God's algorithm is applied to puzzles such as Meffert's pyramid, Taken, Tower of Hanoi, etc.

Since the Rubik's magic cube was created as a mathematical aid, its assembly is decomposed according to formulas.

The assembly of the Rubik's cube is based on the use of special formulas

Important definitions

In order to learn how to understand the schemes for solving the puzzle, you need to get acquainted with the names of its parts.

1. An angle is a combination of three colors. The 3 x 3 cube will have 3, the 4 x 4 version will have 4, and so on. The toy has 12 corners.
2. An edge denotes two colors. There are 8 of them in a cube.
3. The center contains one color. There are 6 in total.
4. Facets, as already mentioned, are simultaneously rotating elements of the puzzle. They are also called "layers" or "slices".

Values ​​in formulas

It should be noted that the assembly formulas are written in Latin - these are the schemes that are widely presented in various manuals for working with the puzzle. But there are also Russified versions. The list below shows both options.

1. The front face (front or facade) is the front face, which is in color to us [Ф] (or F - front).
2. The back face is the face that is centered away from us [З] (or B - back).
3. Right Edge - the edge that is on the right [P] (or R - right).
4. Left Edge - the edge that is on the left [L] (or L - left).
5. Bottom Face - the face that is below [H] (or D - down).
6. Upper Face - the face that is at the top [B] (or U - up).

To explain the notation in the formulas, we use the Russian version - this will be more understandable for beginners, but for those who want to move to the professional level of speedcubing, the international system of notation in English is indispensable.

It is interesting. The international designation system is adopted by the World Cube Association (WCA).

1. The central cubes are indicated in the formulas with one lowercase letter - f, t, p, l, c, n.
2. Corner - in three letters according to the name of the faces, for example, fpv, flni, etc.
3. Capital letters Ф, Т, П, Л, В, Н denote elementary operations of rotation of the corresponding face (layer, slice) of the cube by 90° clockwise.
4. Designations Ф, Т, П, Л, В, Н" correspond to the rotation of faces by 90° counterclockwise.
5. The designations Ф 2 , П 2 , etc., indicate a double rotation of the corresponding face (Ф 2 = FF).
6. The letter C denotes the rotation of the middle layer. The subscript shows which side of the face to look at to make that turn. For example, C P - from the side of the right side, C N - from the bottom side, C "L" - from the left side, counterclockwise, etc. It is clear that C N \u003d C "B, C P \u003d C" L and etc.
7. The letter O is the rotation (revolution) of the entire cube around its axis. О Ф - from the side of the front face clockwise, etc.

Recording the process (F "P") N 2 (PF) means: rotate the front face counterclockwise by 90 °, the same - the right side, rotate the bottom face twice (that is, by 180 °), rotate the right side by 90 ° along clockwise, rotate the front face 90° clockwise.

It is important for beginners to learn to understand the formulas

As a rule, instructions for building a puzzle in classic colors recommend holding the puzzle with the yellow center up. This advice is especially important for beginners.

It is interesting. There are websites that visualize formulas. Moreover, the speed of the assembly process can be set independently. For example, alg.cubing.net

How to solve a Rubik's puzzle

There are two types of schemas:

• for newbies;
• for professionals.

Their difference is in the complexity of the formulas, as well as the assembly speed. For beginners, of course, instructions appropriate to their level of knowledge of the puzzle will be more useful. But even they, after training, after a while will be able to fold the toy in 2-3 minutes.

How to build a standard 3 x 3 cube

Let's start by building a classic 3 x 3 Rubik's Cube using a 7-step pattern.

The classic version of the puzzle is the Rubik's Cube 3 x 3

It is interesting. The reverse process used to solve certain irregularly placed cubes is the reverse sequence of the action described by the formula. That is, the formula must be read from right to left, and the layers must be rotated counterclockwise if direct movement was indicated, and vice versa: direct if the opposite is described.

Assembly instructions

1. We start by assembling the cross of the upper face. We lower the required cube down by turning the corresponding side face (P, T, L) and bring it to the front face with the operation N, N "or H 2. We finish the stage of the removal by mirroring (reverse) the same side face, restoring the original position of the affected edge cube of the upper layer. After that, we perform operation a) or b) of the first stage. In case a) the cube came to the front face so that the color of its front face matches the color of the facade. In case b) the cube must not only be moved up, but also unfolded so that it is correctly oriented, standing in its place.

   We collect the cross of the upper line

2. The required corner cube is found (having the colors of the faces F, V, L) and, using the same technique that is described for the first stage, it is displayed in the left corner of the selected front face (or yellow). There can be three cases of orientation of this cube. We compare our case with the picture and apply one of the operations of the second stage a, beat c. The dots on the diagram mark the place where the desired cube should be placed. We look for the remaining three corner cubes on the cube and repeat the described technique to move them to their places on the top face. Result: the top layer is picked up. The first two stages cause almost no difficulty for anyone: it is quite easy to follow your actions, since all attention is paid to one layer, and what is done in the remaining two is not at all important.

   Choosing the top layer

3. Our goal: to find the desired cube and first bring it down to the front face. If it is at the bottom - by simply turning the bottom face until it matches the color of the facade, and if it is in the middle layer, then you must first lower it down using any of the operations a) or b), and then match it in color with the color of the facade face and perform the operation of the third stage a) or b). Result: two layers collected. The formulas given here are mirror formulas in the full sense of the word. You can clearly see this if you put a mirror to the right or left of the cube (with an edge towards you) and do any of the formulas in the mirror: we will see the second formula. That is, operations with the front, bottom, top (not involved here), and back (also not involved) faces change sign to the opposite: it was clockwise, it became counterclockwise, and vice versa. And the left side changes from the right one, and, accordingly, changes the direction of rotation to the opposite.

   We find the desired cube and bring it down to the front face

4. The goal is achieved by operations that move the side cubes of one face, without ultimately violating the order in the collected layers. One of the processes that allows you to pick up all the side faces is shown in the figure. It also shows what happens in this case with other face cubes. By repeating the process, choosing a different front face, you can put all four cubes in place. Result: the rib pieces are in place, but two of them, or even all four, may be incorrectly oriented. Important: before proceeding with this formula, we look at which cubes are already in place - they may be incorrectly oriented. If there is none or one, then we try to rotate the upper face so that the two that are on two adjacent side faces (fv + pv, pv + tv, tv + lv, lv + fv) fall into place, after that we orient the cube like this , as shown in the figure, and execute the formula given at this stage. If it is not possible to combine the details belonging to adjacent faces by turning the top face, then we execute the formula for any position of the cubes of the top face once and try again by turning the top face to put 2 details located on two adjacent side faces in their places.

   It is important to check the orientation of the cubes at this stage

5. We take into account that the unfolded cube should be on the right side, in the figure it is marked with arrows (cube pv). Figures a, b, and c show possible cases of location of incorrectly oriented cubes (marked with dots). Using the formula in case a), we perform an intermediate rotation B "to bring the second cube to the right side, and a final rotation B, which will return the upper face to its original position, in case b) an intermediate rotation B 2 and the final one also B 2, and in case c) intermediate rotation B must be performed three times, after turning each cube and also completed with rotation B. Many are confused by the fact that after the first part of the process (PS N) 4, the desired cube unfolds as it should, but the order in the collected layers is violated. confuses and makes some people throw an almost completed cube halfway through. Having completed an intermediate turn, ignoring the “breakage” of the lower layers, we perform operations (PS N) 4 with the second cube (the second part of the process), and everything falls into place. Result: assembled cross.

   The result of this stage will be an assembled cross

6. We put the corners of the last face into place using an easy-to-remember 8-way process - forward, rearranging the three corner pieces in a clockwise direction, and reverse, rearranging the three dice in a counterclockwise direction. After the fifth stage, as a rule, at least one cube will sit in its place, even if it is incorrectly oriented. (If after the fifth stage none of the corner cubes has sat down in its place, then we apply any of the two processes for any three cubes, after that exactly one cube will be in its place.). Result: all the corner cubes are in place, but two of them (maybe four) may not be oriented correctly.

   Corner cubes sit in their places

7. We repeatedly repeat the sequence of turns PF "P" F. Rotate the cube so that the cube we want to unfold is in the upper right corner of the facade. An 8-way process (2 x 4 turns) will rotate it 1/3 turn clockwise. If at the same time the cube has not yet oriented, repeat the 8-move again (in the formula this is reflected by the index “N”). We do not pay attention to the fact that the lower layers will become a mess. The figure shows four cases of incorrectly oriented cubes (they are marked with dots). In case a) an intermediate turn B and a final B" are required, in case b) - an intermediate and final turn B 2, in case c) - turn B is performed after each cube is rotated to the correct orientation, and the final B 2, in case d) - intermediate rotation B is also performed after each cube is rotated to the correct orientation, and the final rotation in this case will also be rotation B. Result: the last face is assembled.

   Possible errors are shown with dots

Formulas for correcting the placement of cubes can be shown like this.

The essence of Jessica Friedrich's method

There are several ways to assemble the puzzle, but one of the most memorable is the one developed by Jessica Friedrich, a professor at the University of Binghamton, New York, who develops techniques for hiding data in digital images. While still a teenager, Jessica became so fascinated with the cube that in 1982 she became the world champion in speed cubing and subsequently did not leave her hobby, developing formulas for quickly assembling the "magic cube". One of the most popular options for folding a cube is called CFOP - after the first letters of the four assembly steps.

Instruction:

1. We collect the cross on the upper face, which is made up of cubes on the edges of the lower face. This stage is called Cross - cross.
2. We collect the lower and middle layers, that is, the face on which the cross is located, and the intermediate layer, consisting of four side parts. The name of this step is F2L (First two layers) - the first two layers.
3. We collect the remaining face, not paying attention to the fact that not all the details are in place. The stage is called OLL (Orient the last layer), which translates as “orientation of the last layer”.
4. The last level - PLL (Permute the last layer) - consists in the correct arrangement of the cubes of the upper layer.

Friedrich Method Video Instructions

The speedcubers liked the method proposed by Jessica Friedrich so much that the most advanced amateurs develop their own methods to speed up the assembly of each of the stages proposed by the author.

2 x 2

The 2 x 2 Rubik's Cube or mini Rubik's Cube is also stacked in layers, starting from the bottom level.

The mini-dice is a lighter version of the classic puzzle

Easy Assembly Instructions for Beginners

1. We assemble the bottom layer so that the colors of the last four cubes match, and the remaining two colors are the same as the colors of the neighboring parts.
2. Let's start organizing the top layer. Please note that at this stage the goal is not to match the colors, but to put the cubes in their places. We start by determining the color of the top. Everything is simple here: it will be the color that did not appear in the bottom layer. Rotate any of the top cubes so that it gets to the position where the three colors of the element intersect. Having fixed the corner, we arrange the elements of the remaining ones. We use two formulas for this: one for changing diagonal cubes, the other for neighboring ones.
3. We complete the top layer. We carry out all operations in pairs: we rotate one corner, and then the other, but in the opposite direction (for example, the first one is clockwise, the second is counterclockwise). You can work with three angles at once, but in this case there will be only one combination: either clockwise or counterclockwise. Between rotations of the corners, we rotate the upper face so that the corner being worked out is in the upper right corner. If we work with three corners, then we put the correctly oriented one at the back left.

Formulas for rotating angles:

• (VFPV P"V"F")² (5);
• V²F V²F "V"F V"F"(6);
• FVF² LFL² VLV² (7).

To rotate three corners at once:

• (FVPV "P" F "V")² (8);
• FV F "V FV² F" V² (9);
• V²L"V"L²F"L"F²V"F" (10).

Collecting the most difficult versions of the cube

These include toys with a number of parts from 4 x 4 and up to 17 x 17.

Models of a cube for many elements usually have rounded corners for ease of manipulation with a toy

Rubik's Cube- an interesting childhood puzzle. Although many adults are not averse to having fun with this curiosity. At first glance, you can tell that this is an ordinary cube with six faces of different colors. But this is only at first glance. The puzzle is quite difficult and not every brave man can do it. Therefore, today we will try to explain in as much detail as possible how to assemble a toy from our childhood.

The main thing in the article

How to learn to solve a rubik's cube?

• The original idea behind the magic cube was to teach students the mathematical theory of groups. So in 1970s Hungarian architect Erno Rubik created a mechanical tool that was a learning cube for understanding 3D models and moving independent parts.
• After a short time, great fame came to the magical patented cube. He was interested in people of different professions and from different countries. Yes, in 1980s For years the whole world knew about him, he won many competitions and was awarded various prizes.
• The mechanism includes an inner and outer part. The inner one is a figure consisting of three connected cylinders. External - fastened to the internal mechanism of the face, which in turn consist of squares.
• By rotating the edges of the faces in different directions, you can solve the Rubik's Cube. After many years, many people worked on the magic cube, as a result of which many techniques were created. Now there are even some algorithms, using which you can quickly assemble a cube.
• The cube consists of three elements: centers - 4 , angles - 8 and the ribs 12 .

How to quickly and easily solve a rubik's cube: the main rules

• It is necessary to rotate not only the color sectors, but also the cube itself.
• You need to focus on the central figures.
• In the original version, yellow is always opposite white, orange is always opposite red, and green is always opposite blue.
• You need to move the middle and corner sectors, in accordance with the colors of the central figures.
• Each new move creates a new corner and center segment.
• The centers do not change, in whatever confusing position you put the cube, it will always be white at the top, yellow at the bottom, green at the front, blue at the back, red at the right, and orange at the left.
• Edge elements have two stickers, and corner elements have three.
• Since the color fragments do not change their position, the cube will always be assembled in the same way.
• There are ribs comfortable looking left and right, and uncomfortable- located at the bottom or at the top. There are also ribs that stand in place or under the cross.

How to solve one, two sides of the Rubik's Cube?

• In order to assemble one of the sides, you need to create a cross of the same color on any of the faces. The starting point will be the central fragment of one of the colors.
• Having chosen the desired color located in the center, send fragments of the same color to it, creating a cross.
• Next, you need to collect the corners of a similar color. To do this, you need to move the found color to the edge of the side being assembled.

The cross will be assembled correctly if the centers on other faces match the edges in color.

1. Find the white center.
2. Then put on comfortable ribs that look at you.
3. Then take on the uncomfortable ones. Scroll the edge to the left or right and make it convenient for making a cross.
4. After - scroll the top to make room for the edge.
5. Next, set the corners. They are either above or below. Initially, the upper corners move.
6. Select a corner and bring to the center of those colors whose color stickers are together with the white corner.
7. Then twist the formula "bang Bang" until the corner is in place.

To ensure that all centers coincide with the ribs, always twist in one movement clockwise and check.

When the moment comes that the centers and edges do not coincide on two faces, then you need to use the formula "bang Bang".

• Formula "bang Bang"- Algorithm of repetitive movements. The white cross looks up, clockwise move the right side one movement, then move the top clockwise. After that, move the right side counterclockwise, that is, return it back, and return the top back counterclockwise.

The second side is assembled in a similar way. To do this, you must first collect the correct cross, the first side and move the edges so that they match the centers in color. Next, move the corners according to the formula.

How to complete a complete Rubik's Cube?

In order to fully assemble the mechanism, you must use the lesson on collecting one side. After going to the second, and the remaining parties.

How to solve the corners of a Rubik's Cube?

• The corners of the cube are divided into upper and lower. The top ones move first, as they are the easiest to move.
• The secret is that once you find the top corner, you need to move the white sticker so that the other corner stickers line up with their centers.
• And then the angle moves according to the formula "bang Bang".

How to solve a Rubik's Cube in layers?

1. Collect the correct white cross.
2. Create one white layer.
3. Find the ribs without the yellow stickers.
4. Remember the color of the edge and match it with the corresponding color.
5. Now do everything with your right hand.
6. Place two centers in front of you at an angle 45°.
7. Hide the colored element to that side so that it is not visible by twisting the face in one motion.
8. Raise the right corner.
9. Return the hidden edge.
10. And return the corner. You should get a pair of two colors.
11. Then move according to the same algorithm to move all the fragments to their places.

   3. OLL(Orient the last layer) - the correct orientation of the top layer cubes;
   4. PLL(Permute the last layer) - arrangement of cubes of the upper layer.
2. Also, with high-speed assembly, the mechanism itself is of no small importance, how well it is lubricated. After all, the speed of movement of the faces depends on this.
3. Another secret is to skillfully use both hands and all fingers, directing the edges with them in the right direction.
4. There should be no pauses; at the end of one move, it is necessary to move on with lightning speed.
5. Having studied all the algorithms, you need to know in advance what your next step will be.

How wonderful this moment is when you manage to do what is sometimes beyond the power of the majority, and in this case we are talking about the fact that not everyone can quickly solve a Rubik's Cube. Although it is within the power of anyone who wants it. To do this, the main thing is to know a few secrets and acquire patience.

How to learn how to solve a rubik's cube - the secrets of success

5.66 seconds. That's how much time it takes Felix Zemdegs, the first person in the world who can quickly assemble this creation of the 1980s. After weeks of training, a beginner will be able to personally create an assembly record for himself for 2-3 minutes.

Considering the question of how to assemble a Rubik's Cube, it should be noted that before starting the lesson, it is necessary to "undress" the cube into parts. After all, it is possible that the manufacturer made an erroneous assembly, and this is fraught with a waste of time on assembling the toy.

Then comes the process of carefully memorizing the colors (which one is located next to which).

How to fully solve the Rubik's Cube - detailed instructions

Well, now let's move on to the main stages of putting together all the colors of the Rubik's cube.

We divide the cube into separate components:

• there are 8 corners, 12 edges, and 6 centers;
• each face includes 9 subfacets: a - lower, b - upper, c - left, d - frontal, e - right.

Please note that in the following, counterclockwise turns will be marked with an asterisk (*). If you meet a designation like a3, b3 - says that so many times (in this case three times) the face should be rotated 180 degrees.

The main goal for stage number 1: to collect the red color in one line. Next, we install 4 elements, thereby forming a cross.

So, the first layer is assembled together.

Further, it is recommended to find a rib that can be easily deployed by turning the top. So, when assembling a new layer, the red should not be touched. It should be kept face down. It is necessary to scroll the top layer (the one that is being collected at the moment) until the central sections of the cube coincide.

In order, as indicated in the photo, to put the white-blue part in place, use the following: b e b * e * b * d * b d.

To fill in the left side: b* c b c* b d b* d*.

A cross is formed from a certain color.

Now let's deal with the edges of the remaining layer. If it turns out that those cubes that match in are on different faces, you need to scroll the cube according to the formula: e b e* b e a2 e*.

If the matching elements are on adjacent faces, then: the unassembled part is in front of you, and the second one is the same on the left. e b e* b e b2 e*.

Now we will talk about the arrangement of the corners of the remaining layer. If the desired color is on the right (blue-white-orange in the photo), then: a e a* e* a e a* e*. The corner that needs to be collected should be brought to the bottom.
