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 ...

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 ...

Currently, our algorithm is able to consider a human plan for solving the Rubik’s Cube, suggest improvements to the plan, recognise plans that do not work and find alternatives that do.

Why it matters: Solving a puzzle box is not the only problem autodidactic iteration can solve. The deep-learning algorithms used in Deep Cube can be applied in other fields that require complex ...

I assumed that successfully unscrambling a cube would forever remain on my bucket list, but a smart Rubik’s Cube is finally teaching me the strategies to solve one.

Solving a Rubik's Cube is an easy way to impress your friends, but you don't need to be a math genius to crack the algorithm. With help from this app spotted by Lifehacker, you don't even need to ...

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 ...

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.
