Rubik's cube

Post by txteachers »

Can an algorithm be created to solve a rubik's cube? I've had this cube for the longest time and I just cannot seem to solve it!!

i want to ask some questions 1. how do rubik's cubes turn and move. 2. how many visible sides are on a centre piece. 3. how many visible sides are on a corner piece. 3. how many visible sides are on an edge piece. i will ask more questions but i dont have them with me.

With a little searching, you should be able to answer your own questions.

The answer lies inside so search for how to disassemble... http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-disas ... zle-270546

The answer depends on what you call "a center piece". For a 3x3x3 cube, there are 6 pieces you might consider a "center" piece, then the answer would be 1. After the inside structure is revealed by disassembly, you might consider there to be only ONE center piece, in which case there would be 6 squares/sides/surfaces.
