The Rubik's Cube Perfect Scramble
The Rubik's Cube Perfect Scramble
An article detailing the process of finding a 'perfect scramble' for a Rubik's Cube, where no two squares of the same color touch. The author outlines the strict criteria for the scramble, the computational method used to search for a solution among 43 quintillion possibilities, and the discovery of a single unique solution that took 5 days to compute.
Note
a bold adventure to take on when you aren't guaranteed that the solution exists.
though, the definition had enough levers should one needed to be pulled back. luckily, the pieces fell into place and the "perfect scramble" was found.
calling it "perfect" though may have been too bold. i say this, holding it in my hand now and not feeling the perfection one iota. but it is pretty, in its own way.
