But no matter the cube, the process of solving one involves math — specifically, algorithms. Roman Chavez loved Rubik's Cubes so much, he founded the Jr. Oakland Cubers in high school.

Earlier this year, while putting together a video about the world’s fastest solvers of the Rubik’s Cube, I decided to devote some time to learning to solve the classic puzzle myself. Tyson Mao ...

Researchers at the University of California believe they've created an algorithm that can solve the Rubik's Cube on its own. It depends on "autodidactic iteration" which is a "novel reinforcement ...

You can actually learn how to solve a 3x3x3 cube in less than an hour and there are a bunch of teenagers making simple tutorials on YouTube that will guide you through it.

The first time I watched 16-year-old Oliver Phillips solve a Rubik’s Cube, I blinked and nearly missed the whole thing. From ...

The Rubik's Cube is a classic puzzle toy, but trying to solve it for the first time can be a daunting task. Fortunately, there are some very good guides that show you how to tackle the puzzle.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Today's Google Doodle marks the 40th anniversary of the Rubik's Cube: the toy and/or puzzle that has rapidly infuriated and then eternally haunted almost person to have walked this fair Earth ...

Scrambling it is much easier than solving it. But it still involves some fascinating questions, such as the number of random moves needed to consider the cube truly messed up.
