“You can’t accidentally solve a Rubik’s Cube.” “Anyone who’s told me that they turned it randomly for two days and solved it isn’t telling the truth,” he says. “Some I’d consider to be smarter, and others are far from the genius you’d picture when you think of a Rubik’s Cube solver in a movie.” That said, he insists that it must be learned, either through trial-and-error or from others - you can’t just stumble upon a solution.
RUNIX CUBE SAYING HI HOW TO
“It’s really easy to learn, and I’ve taught a lot of people how to do it,” he says. So I think you need good common sense and an innate intelligence that you’re born with.”įor his part, Ethan Pride, chair of the World Cube Association, says that to solve a Rubik’s Cube, you don’t have to be smart at all. These kids have no formal education in math - they can barely read and write - and they can do this. “It depends how you measure smartness,” Fridrich tells me. The most prominent person I spoke to on the matter was computer-engineering professor Jessica Fridrich from Binghamton University, who created what’s known as the “Fridrich Method” of Rubik’s Cube solving (this is the method by which most speedcubers, as they’re called, solve the cube). I posed the question to a few Cubers, as well as a mathematician and a couple of computer scientists. So again, which is it? Do you need to be a genius, or a computer, or a computer genius to solve this thing? Or can any moron do it? That may well be true, but I also found a number of complex scientific algorithms written by computer scientists breaking down how the cube can be solved. In the forums and Reddit threads I explored, many Cubers insisted that you don’t have to be a genius to solve a Rubik’s Cube, and that anyone can learn how.
