Want to solve a Rubik’s Cube? Then you have to know the numbers. Here’s the amazing math behind the legendary toy, and how to use it to solve the puzzle.

Artificial intelligence, which may at some point automate your job and can already defeat professionals in six-player poker, is now able to solve Rubik's Cube faster than any human.

To wrangle the Rubik’s Cube, however, Dactyl didn’t rely entirely on reinforcement learning. It got help from a more conventional algorithm to determine how to solve the puzzle.

AI algorithm, named DeepCubeA, has solved a Rubik's Cube in a fraction of a second without having any specific knowledge of the domain or in-game coaching from humans.

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm which can solve a Rubik's Cube in a fraction of a second, according to a study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. The system, known as ...

"Our program first does a large pre-computation, and then it very quickly—in about a second—finds a solution in 26 moves or less for any state of Rubik's cube." ...
