<p>Cube Equation: New record from Feliks</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Roux solved.jpg|160px|thumb|A Rubik's Cube in its solved position.]]<br /> The '''Rubik's cube''' (also known as the '''3x3x3 cube''', and normally referred to as the '''3x3x3''' or '''3x3''') is a twistable [[puzzle]] in the shape of a cube that is cut two times along each of three axes. It is said to be the best-selling toy in history, with well over 300 million cubes sold, and because of this popularity it is the most commonly practiced cube in [[speedsolving]]. The main brand is [[Rubik's]], which was first patented by [[Erno Rubik]] in 1975, and which began being produced on a wide scale in the early 1980s. Recently the cubing community has seen the development of [[DIY]] cubes made in China, which many say are better for speedcubing than the official cubes.<br /> <br /> This puzzle has 6 fixed [[center]]s, 12 [[edge]]s, and 8 [[corner]]s, and a total of 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 (or 4.3 x 10^19) positions. It has been proven that every position can be solved in 20 or fewer moves.<br /> <br /> The current official [[record]] speed solve is 5.66 seconds held by Feliks Zemdegs. <br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[3x3x3 Cubes]] (brands)<br /> * [[3x3x3 Methods]]<br /> * [[Rubik's Brand Cube]]<br /> * [[Notation]]<br /> * [[World Record | World Records]]<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube The Wikipedia article]<br /> <br /> {{Cubics}}</div>
