Rubiks Cube/Talk

I copied this article (which I wrote) over from Nupedia since Wikipedia is getting much more traffic. Mark Jeays

Great article. Singmaster's book is certainly the definitive one, but perhaps some mention should be made of Thistlethwaite's "decent though nested subgroups" algorithm? --LDC

Good idea. I haven't used that method, though. Perhaps you or someone else could add a paragraph on it. I didn't want to get into lengthy discussions on the methods of solving the cube however perhaps an overview of some of the common methods would be good. Mark Jeays

I think so. Since we are not restricted by the five-paragraph-rule here, we can extend to our heart's content :-) For example, I would love to see an elaboration on the group theory aspect, and then I could make a link from group theory to here. --AxelBoldt

I've added a link to someone's solution to the puzzle. It is listed as being GNU FDL licensed, so perhaps we can add it at Rubiks_Cube/Solution?. However, I want to wait until I understand how subpages will be changed. -- Bignose

Oh, duh. Just realised the solution link is authored by Mark Jeays. Hi, Mark! Please add the solution to Wikipedia if you like. -- Bignose

Hi! I was thinking of adding it (perhaps one solution only, since there is a good bit of extraneous stuff such as personal records and my ramblings that wouldn't be suitable). Also it could go in how-tos. I will try to do this later today (Nov. 21) but if someone else wants to, go right ahead. I think a separate page would be suitable. Mark Jeays
