If that was the case Havoc, completing a Rubik's Cube would be something everyone can do. Even blind folded. There are certain algorithms in which you can get cubelet x to cubelet y without messing up the rest of your hard work. You have to hold the cube in a certain position for this to work though.

There is such a pattern because I've seen it be used.

It sounds like Havoc was talking about the Devil's algorithm, which is only conjectured to exist.

Any Rubik's cube can be solved in 20 moves or fewer. That said, there's no simple rule for finding those 20 moves; that number was determined by using supercomputers to try out every possible permutation.

I'll see your rbot and raise you Lego.

Oh dear.

I hate these fucking things, I just want to smash them all with a hammer.

those metal untangling puzzles are cool though.

You mean these things?

OMG flashback moment....

I remember playing at a friend's house. In one of my friend's Nintendo World magazines I found an advertisement for Rubik's cube that had a kid who looked like Urkel with a Rubik's cube in his hand. I HATED IT SO MUCH. I promptly named the kid Rubik, tore the page out of the magazine, and punched the page all over the house screaming STUPID RUBIK!

Nice to know you were a mentally healthy kid.

EDIT: OT: i hate rubik's cubes.

Just because you can't solve them :tard:

Here's a cool program I found.
