20 движений или: Разрешать кубик Rubik Posted: 31 Dec 2010 04:00 AM PST Rubik’s cubes, like Legos, are a must-have toy for future architects and engineers. Appropriate, given that the inventor of the cube was an architect, and playing with the cube can improve spatial IQ. It seems that almost every child of the 70s or 80s possessed at least one of the colorful cubes, but only the truly talented or persistent could solve it. If it took the inventor of the Rubik’s cube an entire month to solve his own creation, then it’s safe to say it’s not an easy thing to accomplish. The goal of the game is to rotate the components of the cube so that each side is consistent in color. The current world record for solving it is just over 7 seconds, and as the result of extensive study, it has been proven that any cube can solved in 20 moves or less, referred to as “God’s Number.” It doesn’t matter the starting configuration, according to the algorithm. The Rubik’s cube has claimed its rightful place in pop culture. In many movies and TV shows, including Wall-E and Seinfeld, characters have solved the cube to demonstrate their intelligence. At one point, there was even an entire television show devoted to the Rubik’s cube! It’s also seemingly influenced architect’s designs, such as a glass tower by Herzog & deMeuron in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood that features shifting floors, and John Portman’s giant concrete structure for the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco has been compared to a half-twisted cube. There are countless websites devoted to solving the cube. Over 40,000 YouTube videos illustrate tips and tricks. The website All Too Flat pulled an elaborate prank in which they covered a cubed sculpture in the middle of Astor Place in New York City with colored squares so it resembled a solved cube. There are countless Facebook groups devoted to the art of solving the cube and those who love to attempt it. Have you ever solved a Rubik’s cube?
