A group of mathematicians, desperate to discover all solutions to Rubik's Cube, get free computer time from Google and reach their Holy Grail.

We’ve mastered the Rubik’s Cube. By we, though, I don’t necessarily mean that you and I have figured out how to solve the classic puzzle, but other members of humanity have certainly shown the Cube ...

Fancy algorithms capable of solving a Rubik’s Cube have appeared before, but a new system from the University of California, Irvine uses artificial intelligence to solve the 3D puzzle from scratch and ...

No matter how mixed-up it is, the Rubik’s Cube can be solved in 20 moves or fewer, say a team of researchers who used computer time donated by Google to run complex algorithms to prove it. That ...

Since its invention in the 1970s, there have only been a few things that have revealed the limits of problem solving skills in humans faster than a Rubik’s Cube. The 3D multicoloured, logic puzzle has ...

The Rubik’s Cube looks like a simple kids’ toy, but anyone who’s tried to line up the block’s colors knows how challenging it is. For experts, the current record is about three and a half seconds to ...

He solved a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube in the blazing time of 4.76 seconds — around the same time it takes a Ford Mustang GT350 to accelerate to 60 kilometres an hour.
