How an Engineer solves a Rubik's Cube

So we were arguing about where the battery was suppost to go on the bot tonight, and we got tired of it and decided to solve a rubik's cube. This is how the process went.

I don't know about that ... it seems that it would be much easier just to peel off the sitckers and re-apply in the "correct" place.

Nicely done. I once wrote a BASIC(eww) program to solve a virtual rubik's cube.

And Stu, once you peel the stickers off, they never stick the same anymore.

That's how a technician solves a Rubik's Cube, an engineer solves it this way: http://jpbrown.i8.com/cubesolver.html ;)

You beat me to posting that link. If I ever had a lot of free time ... I'd like to build one too (since I know how to solve a Rubik's cube .... it wouldnt be too hard to program my logic).

Re: How an Engineer solves a Rubik's Cube

soooo...how does a human solve a rubik's cube? j/k i just insulted myself as a future engineer :-/ but isn't there some mathematical technique or something... i can't locate the link... i've personally never owned or considered solving a cube...

Re: How an Engineer solves a Rubik's Cube

now... yall see... yall made the mistake in taking it apart... and putting it back together.... some of yall even rearranged the stickers.... i simply took ALL the stickers off for good.... so no matter which way i turned it, i won!!! hehe :P

This is probably the most easily understood technique: http://jeays.net/rubiks.htm#sol2

That's the most logical way to solve the rubik's cube in my eyes.... :D
